Do they?" That's as good as a summation as I've seen. I realize that the Peace Prize is also given for ongoing efforts, as an "encouragement", but I guess I'm not really even seeing the effort. Unless, of course, letting Iran and Russia have their heads is considered the correct path - after all, a lot of people will be extremely peaceful by the time they're done. <br><br>(Sorry about the sarcasm, but this was startling and frustrating news to wake up to).Sonetkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-15860184679921901872009-10-09T12:10:11.981-06:002009-10-09T12:10:11.981-06:00Spot on, sarcasm and all!

It was well-warranted. I can't speak for the others, but at least one Nobel was properly awarded!Lalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16060253440799634080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-68809625038381758522009-10-10T19:17:35.386-06:002009-10-10T19:17:35.386-06:00Thanks, Lara.

I think the Peace Prize, being the most political, is most prone to being an incomprehensible error.Dcn Scott Dodgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09994604395739905637noreply@blogger.com
