Of course, if one looked at actual results, then Reagan should have been awarded this prize. A visionary, he was more responsible than any other single person for defeating one of the two great evils of the last century.

They're stretching these days to find winners. Last year it was the UN (again). But the Prize has pretty much made itself a joke by failing to recognize that sometimes standing up to evil does more to advance the human condition and even peace itself that simply working towards a narrow defintion of "peace".

Winners include:

Yasser Arafat (1994)
Frederik De Klerk and Nelson Mandela (1993)
Rigoberta Menchu (1992), later found to be a fabricator.
Mikhail Gorbachev (1990)
Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho (1973)
Albert Lutuli (1960)

Non-winners include:

Franklin Deleano Roosevelt
Winston Churchill
Ronald Reagan - indeed Gorbachev got it for accepting a defeat that Reagan engineered.
Margaret Thatcher
Pope John Paul II
