I need to know why Teddy shouldnt have gotten the nobel peace prize. Im having a debate on it later today, someone please gimme some facts/bullet points for why he shouldnt have gotten it. Feel free to link me to a site with more info as well.


Im counting on you GAF
 
The only reason that I can think of, is because he wasn't a peaceful man. He supported insubordination in Panama, so the US could go in, and build our canal.

But that's the way to be in my opinion. TR was the man.

the year he won the npp he did some peaceful things/help'd end wars etc. but his over all career was filled with "big stick" diplomacy which is just as bad as it sounds.

So meddling in the affairs of other nations so that we could make more money is "the way to be" in your estimation? Methinks you should reconsider...


It's that sort of mentality which has gotten us into the precarious global situation we're in today.
