For decades the Nobel Peace Prize has been nothing more than a way to hoist the progressive left’s faux heroes up on their petards to make it look like they are worthy of the world’s recognition and praise. The prize means nothing anymore. I mean look at Gore. His global warming scam is over. He’s looked at as a simpleton fool lately and the butt of endless jokes. Look at Arafat. A terrorist known more for not wanting peace with the Israelis. Look at Carter. His forced Palestinian/Israeli peace accord was a temporary joke. He’s been ridiculed as the previously worst president in US history. And then luckily for Carter, along comes the man who took his place as the worst president in US history.... Obama. He “won” the award before he did anything at all except con people into thinking he was going to be the greatest thing to hit world politics ever. Look at the mess he’s embroiled himself in now with all the scandals at home. And I’m sure those peace prize folks will be cheering him on for trying to bring peace to Syria by backing and supporting the al-qaeda terrorists.
Like you said, if you want a list of people who have done more than anybody else to bring peace to the world, just look to those that never received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Both Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson received the peace prize--TR for helping to end the Russo-Japananese War. I'm not sure if WW's was for the Fourteen Points, his role at the Peace Conference (that may have happened too late for the 1919 prize) or his efforts to turn WWI into a "war to end war." TR and WW are both questionable recipients but not as much as JEC or BHO.
