Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

Strange that I read about it repeatedly over the years. Also, on both issues there have been several full length documentaries on TV, of German and international making.

It's not as if internet links are the decisive criterion whether or not something can be true or not. there has been a world (and books and papers and media) before the internet, I seem to remember.

The 45 or 60 hour documentary that I also remember, on Carter's final days, very likely was american-made, since the original tone was American English. In it Kissinger took a very critical stand on the Republican's activities during the campaign to defeat Carter. While he criticises Carter's policies, he attacked the Reagan camp sharply over the deal with the hostages.

Back then, years ago, I did not had it in web sources, and I simply do not take the effort to google it now. Knowing that I had what I claim in the above from several sources in books and TV, sometimes newspaper essays, is good enough for me to stick to it and not abandoning it just becasue I have no links.

20 years ago or so many people used to think that as long as it was not on TV, it was not real, and if it was on TV, it must be true. Today, people think the same way, but nor regarding TV, but the internet, and "links".

Web links are not everything, and many debates just worsen to "link wars".

However.
