Didn’t Yasser Arafat and Jimmy Carter also win the Nobel Prize for Peace?

Carter some 20 years later for his Habitat for Humanity more-so. Peace is a "catchy masthead title". Carter talked the talk but most would not go as far as saying he brought Peace. Hell, Henry Kissinger is a Laureate and he is known for war. Then you have also Mother Teresa or the nun that was looked over for saving all those children when Gore received the award.

I comes down to "the chosen" taking on a "moral and spiritual challenge". Gore's just happen to be about "weather/climate change".

In Illinois EX-Governor, George H. Ryan was placed up for the Nobel Peace Prize. Before the Governor left office he granted "clemency to those on death row" and became the toast of death penalty opponents. I always suspected he would wind up in prison himself...guess what he finally got 6.5 years. Many had known way before that it was only time, others surrounding him had already seen the inside of a prison cell. But, hey, it was Illinois/Chicago politics!

This is the Nobel site.

Not to mention Al Gore. Bill Clinton’s probably livid.
