Howard praises Bush, Blair
02feb04
US President George W Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who've been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, have helped make the world safer, Prime Minister John Howard said today.
"I believe both of them made a strong contribution to producing in the longer run a safer world," Mr Howard told journalists in Perth.
"I am absolutely unconditional in my continued support for what they did, I have a great respect for both of them."
Bush and Blair were nominated for the prize yesterday by independent right wing Norwegian MP Jan Simonsen.
However being nominated doesn't mean much. Last year there were 165 nominations.

The Prize should go to three, and include Howard.

I know, I was just being a little tongue-in-cheek, because the "prize" seems to have lost a lot of it's former glow.
