Given that some of my roots are Norwegian, I'm somewhat embarassed that the fellow who acted like such a jackass was Norwegian.
Giving it to Carter was a bad idea. The only time he brought peace to anywhere was when he managed to bore the parties involved to death. If they are having a year when they don't know to whom to give it, give it to Ronald Reagan. He ended the Cold War, after all.
Regards, Ivan

Ivan,
Every village will have its idiots. So some of theirs gave an award to one of ours. Uff da! We shouldn't be surprised.
They have done us a favor in one sense. With this, we should be able to forever bury the notion that the Nobel prizes are apolitical.
Regards.

This is all irrelevant. The US and the UK will do what's right regardless of these socialists praising a failed ex-president.

I love this. The hypocrisy of these characters on full display. The prizes for science and literature are, in general, not as politically motivated, (though literature has been in certain cases), but the Peace Prize has become a big fat joke.
As the whole world can see from this debacle. Carter getting this prize is so fraudulent.

Was Carter practicing "decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts" when he sent our forces into Iran on a botched rescue attempt of the hostages?

I'm somewhat embarassed that the fellow who acted like such a jackass was Norwegian. Berge is Labour, and one of the party's two Major Morons. Staalseth is a Christian, the Bishop of Oslo. But then again, Churches of all denominations have been falling over each other lately to embrace the Islamics and their fellow travellers, for one reason or another.
The surprise is Kvanmo, the old commie. But she does have a history of going against the grain.

Yeah, he'd avoid it and leave American hostages in Iran.

>>give it to Ronald Reagan. He ended the Cold War, after all.<<....When it comes down to what is happening today with Islamic terrorism Reagan was just as much a wussy as Carter only a little slimier. Back when Iran took hostages, Carter did nothing while Reagan traded arms. Had either one of them sent a strong message by kicking some ass, none of this crap would be happening today. We may have lost some American lives, but nothing like was lost on 9/11.

They should just give up the pretense and call it what it has become - the "Bash America Prize."

I have one thing to say to these clowns:
Another Nobel Prize to add to our pile! America is the greatest! HA!
To: MadIvan
And they wonder why so many people no longer respect the Nobel organization and see it as nothing but a socialist hate group.

..."should be interpreted as a criticism" of President George W Bush's policy on Iraq [...] "It's a kick in the leg to all that follow the same line as the United States," Mr Berge said. I'll leave it to you to "interpret" what this means and which of your body parts it relates to, Gunnar.

My suggestion would be a joint award to Pres. Reagan, Lady Thatcher and Pope John Paul for winning the cold war and bringing an end to the Soviet system and gulag, all without resorting to a hot war. Their accomplishments tower over Carter's. And if anyone asked if the award was a implied rebuke to Gorbachov, I'd say you bet your bottom ruble it is.

'Humbled'
I would have thought:
Abased
Shamed
Chastened
Degraded
Disgraced
Maligned
Stigmatized
Misused
Branded
Discredited
Distained
Dishonored
I could go on all night.

[G]ive it to Ronald Reagan. He ended the Cold War, after all.
- With a big assist from Lady Thatcher.
