Giving the award to Algore and Carter were moments of idiocy- giving it to Arafat in 1994 is still an outrage.
The award is less than meaningless, it is shameful to win it now. It won’t be long before a recipient declines the award.
Don’t forget Kofi Anan. Not since the League of Nations has a world leader done so little to prevent widespread murders.
Le Duc Tho is the first (and thus far only) person in history to refuse a Nobel Peace Prize. He declined the 1973 Peace Prize—jointly awarded to him and Henry Kissinger — because Vietnam was not yet at peace.
