Today, leaders of the Eurpoean Union accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway. The European Union has made great strides in bringin together all the countries of Europe even in a terrible economic depression. Europe's past has been marked with so many wars and conflicts and I really think it is great that this continent has come so far from their bloody history. The EU has done a great job of ending the continous violence that has seemed to follow Europe throughout the past. I am definetly a person that is all for peace so I really think this is a remarkable award for Europe and hopefully the peace throughout this continent will continue and the ecomonic crisis' will turn around. Both World Wars truly devestated this continent so it is wonderful to see peace prevail in a place with such a rocky history. The EU will recieve $1.2 million from the Norwegian Noble Comittee that they will use towards protecting and educating children in conflict zones. Way to go EU!
