At least those self-important twits, Bono and Geldof, didn't get it.

"Another ridiculous recipient. Par for the course."
I thought Thought there was only one and that on occasion they were shared; but now I am wondering. . .one for medicine and then 'the' Peace prize or. . .

"See, the peace prize comittee doesn't really give out the prize anymore to people who have actually achieved anything. Instead the comittee is trying, itself, to influence issues that they think are important." This is nothing new but has been going on for a long time, giving the prize away to affect current policy, or to acknowledge a darling of the left.
2002: Jimmy Carter -- a nice guy, but I can't think of a single war he has stopped.
2001: Kofi Annan and the United Nations (!)
1994: Yassir Arafat shared the prize with Israelis Peres and Rabin
1990: Gorbachev won the prize, but not Reagan. Gorby certainly deserved it, because it was his decisions that held the hand of the monsters in East Germany, but it should have been a shared prize.
Unfortunately, the peace prize decisions have been political for the past 20 years. Take at look at the URL for the rest.

"Hey, if they could go back to 1936, they'd give it to Hitler." No. They would give the prize to Chamberlain for appeasing Hitler; or they would give the prize to Tojo for agreeing to withdraw from Nanking after raping the city. Why else would they give the prize to a monster like Arafat in 1994, after the Oslo peace accords but before the intifada.

This prize has become absolutely meaningless. They may as well give it to OBL next year.

Do agree with the 'rediculous' here re the 'Peace' prize. . .but, without it. . .Jimmy could never have collected his.

"for their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way"
I guess it says somewhere; 'what' they did to prevent and ensure'. . .

See, the peace prize comittee doesn't really give out the prize anymore to people who have actually achieved anything. Instead the comittee is trying, itself, to influence issues that they think are important. I think the main criterion is to make a pick that pokes a thumb in America's eye. Look for Hugo Chavez next year.

He surely has been considered. . .but then, he would have to come out of hiding to collect it. Maybe next year, he will go public. . .

Agreed. Considering the jerks who normally get these pieces of toilet paper, old yasser and other crooks, this is a more neutral award. With this committee you can best hope they make a mistake. Long ago the days where Mother Theresa got the prize. Now it's fully politicized.
They should actually give it to Bush, but these commies in Norway don't get it. They think the absence of warfare is peace. They don't understand that justice comes before peace.
