In other words, standing up to terrorism instead of negotiating with terrorists, is what wins Peace awards. He means it exactly in reverse: Negotiating with terrorists, instead of standing up to them, is what wins Peace awards.

Carter's reaction to receiving the Prize so beautifully tell us all we need to know of why he failed so miserably as a president. His absolute certainty that he is correct, his giant ego, his inability to read situations, his meaness, and his sanctimony. All have been on display in the last day. Any other man would have said they could keep the prize after it was said to be a slap at Bush. But not Jimmy.

"Jimmy Carter has confirmed his legacy as arguably America's worst president"No, not quite the worst.

Certainly if jimma had refused it, Cynthia Mckenney would have called up and asked if SHE could have it.

LOL. Bullseye. The only contribution to peace that jimmeh made was paving the way for Reagan. Ironic isn't it that the only prize Reagon won or will win was true peace? And then along came Clinton like a spoiled kid given the keys to the house who throws a wild destructive party. The pax Reagan was what he inherited and now there's much to clean up. Jimmeh got the prize because he was a fool, and they knew they could use him.

Despite Sept. 11, too many still don't realize that peace, like power, comes from the barrel of a gun. Without a functioning military, backed by resolve, peace is elusive. This entire article is right on, but IMHO, the above sentence says it all.

Nobel Committee chairman Gunnar Berge came right out and said the award "should be interpreted as criticism of the line that the current (Bush) administration has taken." Jimmuh's award is pyrrhic..........He'll know it, we'll know it and the Press will know it.

Publius is right on this; he probably edited his phrasing and failed to change the original logic.
But what a great piece. I'm hearing a lot of good stuff out of the Canadian press lately, in particular the Sun. Prayers for the beleaguered Canadian Right.

I read and reread that paragraph and have had great difficulty in making sense of it in realation to the remainder of the article. I have posted before that I would like some one to list the lasting peace projects for which jimmy boy is responsible.Over the past years the peace prize has become a koke.
To: TopQuark
Thanks, TopQuark.
Carter ought to be embarrased for being used in such a way, though I suppose he won't be.
I think it's clear that disposing of Saddam would do more for world peace than probably all the recent Nobel prize winners combined have done. However, I hope Bush knows what he's doing if we go in there.
Excuse me for repeating myself.
What is a topquark?

Here is an article on how Carter sold out the Shah and the people of Iran to set up the Murdering Mullah Thugs that took ovefr Iran.
This is where and when the current Islamakazi Hatred of America got started. Carter enabled the Islamakazi Terrorists then and has helped them since then. (How Carter Sold out the People of Iran while he was president)

"Ahm sorry -- Ah can't accept this prize because of divisive , un-American nature of the politics that surround it.
Besahds, if I really wanted to promote peace durin' mah presidency, ah would have busted a piece of fahwood ovah Arahfats hehd at Cahmp Dahviid...."

What is a topquark? Until recently, physicists thought of the particles that comprize the atomic nuclei as elementary, that is, without structure. The most recent framework posits a srtucture, comprized of more elementary particles, called quarks.
You know of properties such as mass and charge of particles. With more properties being discovered, the theorists started to run out of mundane words to name them, and they resorted to affectionate, yet simple terms. So we can talk about properties such as charm of the particle.
In the quark model, when naming the constituents, two of them got names "top" and "bottom."
If I recall correctly, it was Murray Gell-Mann that gave them such names (he was quite good at catchy names, as well as the rest of physics; after retiring from CalTech, whereto he had arrived and worked together with Richard Feynman, he settled in Santa Fe).
A number of years ago, for certain reasons, I wanted to register the domain TopQark.com. It was taken. I later learned that it was Murray who had beaten me to it. There is justice in this world after all: his creation belongs to him, as it should.

Actually Neville Chamberlin should have the peace award for 1938-1939 since he "successively" negotiated peace with Hitler for "peace in our time" for his decision to apease Hitler AFTER HE TOOK Chechslovokia after Hitler ran over them thus delaying WW2 for a few months compared what jimmuh did for Iran,SARCASIM>. If we had not lost Iran the whole Middle Easr may have been a more stable place.
