I loved this op-ed piece. I'm unfamiliar with op-ed and I wanted to read it to get ideas for how to write my own, and I definitely picked the write story. Bono has a charming, sassy voice throughout the piece but he is making important points and asking for a call to action. He is not just praising President Obama for his nobel peace prize, he is articulating that the prize is a way to make a difference and make America care about the rest of the world again. I would highly recommend this story to anyone, I found it fun to read and inspiring.
