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.

Actually, Chamberlain was touted by some for the 1938 Nobel. Others were not beguiled:

"Surprising as it is in view of the world-wide attacks being directed his way, the suggestion is being made that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has the inside track for the Nobel peace prize."

"The Nobel committee, of course, is a free agent and can do as it pleases, but we can think of no act by which it can make itself more ridiculous than by misdirecting the peace award in the diection of Mr. Chamberlain."
(Editorial excerpt, The Capital Times, Madison, Wisconsin, Tuesday, October 11, 1938).

Mark Twain said, "History doesn't exactly repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes."
