Congrats, Jimmy!

After receiving consideration every year for more then two decades, Jimmy Carter finally wins the Nobel Peace Prize. He really deserves this award for his tireless work promoting peace and democracy across the globe through his Carter Center, which is affiliated with Emory University, my alam mater.

In a related note, I attended an Emory alumni event the other night in which Kenneth Stein, Carter's Middle East advisor and Emory professor, spoke about the current issues involving the issue. I am more sorry than ever I never found the opportunity to take one of his classes. Not only does he teach about a fascinating topic, but he also did a great job presenting all sides to the issues in a charasmatic and humorous way.
