Should Obama should turn over his Nobel Peace Prize if Congress agrees to strike missiles on Syria?

There's a ongoing petition for President Obama to revoke his Nobel Peace Prize if he follows through with Syria.

    The Nobel Peace Prize is a very flawed award to begin with. They gave one to a fraudster in 1992, gave one to Henry Kissinger when there wasn't even peace in Vietnam, and gave one to Shimon Peres (later found out to have ordered a village destroyed).

    In short, Obama's not the worst example, but he'd be setting a good one if he stepped up and gave it back.

    Yeah, no. Did you know that the US as a whole is obligated to retaliate against countries that use bio-weapons? You could just as well ask Obama to step down from office because some nut job in California harassed women.Just because something happens during his term where retaliation is imminent does not make him the source of the problem.

    War is very often the most effective means of securing peace.

    That's pretty common knowledge, and it's just common sense.

    So what we have here is a list of people without either. I'm sure advertisers will pay a fortune to get a hold of that list!

    He should turn it over regardless lol, why'd he even get one? He drone strikes as much actually more than bush...he killed innocent people just like bush..Obama is a warmonger same as bush. Its disgusting. It's a sad time to be American when Russia looks like the good guys and we look like the bad guys.

    No because it's a humanitarian mission.

    He should already turn it over for his drone policies.
