Unfortunately I have the exact answer here. I once read an American conservative article that has investigated this phenomenon. The author discovered that the Nobel peace prize committee is aware of the "peace through strength" and the committee said that they WILL NOT award anything to someone who has achieved peace through this means, saying that this was "incompatible with the original disarmament ideals of Mr Nobel blah blah blah...".

So sorry, award for Kissinger, but never for Reagan. I now know that the Nobel peace prize commemorates has very little usefulness in the big real world.

At one point, at least, you could respect the persons who won.

I say again:

they gave that thing to Arafat, it ain't worth shit now.

How ironic that Nobel's goal in life was to achieve peace by creating a weapon so powerful that nobody would dare to use it.
