Barack Obama: I Realize That controversy

"I am aware of the controversy due to your generosity gave me this gift. First, I'm new at the beginning of his career. Another factor is the result of my role as a key commander in the country that faced with two wars (Iraq and Afghanistan). "So U.S. President Barack Obama during a speech in Oslo, Norway, Thursday (10/12), at the plaque ceremony 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

When it was decided as the recipient of the Nobel Prize, critics judging Obama has not yet proved feasible because of his work in peace. Obama replied, "I am grateful and accept this gift with humility. I was a nobody compared to Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, George C Marshall, Albert Schweitzer. "

"I'm also not worth the millions of citizens of the world, that the silence has been sacrificed to obtain justice. I am no more honorable than those who have done something, "Obama said again.

"It seemed to be something missing if I do not discuss this," said Obama, who claimed in her heart wrestled over the definition of war while sometimes war is necessary.

"But this is not a war that the U.S. desirable .... We are also aware that fate can not be taken for granted. Sometimes an act of war must be done even though it still can not be justified simply. Because of the war, some people will kill and others will be killed. "

"... Do not forget, nonkekerasan movement will not stop the Nazis. Negotiations will not make Al Qaeda's leaders are willing to lay down their arms, "Obama said
