Noble Peace Prize. WHAT A JOKE!!!

I have always thought the Nobel Peace Prize was a joke.  I can completely understand awards for the other categories, but the Peace prize, how do you quantify peace and it's impact?  They gave it to Yasser Arafat, who was a terrorist and actively supported the killing of Israelis.  Sure this is a person you should give a peace prize too.  They gave it to Kofi Annan at the United Nations, who during his tenure was one of the most corrupt organizations ever known and still is.  The United Nations has done nothing for peace.  Even their so called "peace keepers" continue to commit atrocities in Africa while also allowing atrocities to happen.

Three years ago they gave it to Al Gore for the so called work on climate change which has now proven to be using faulty data.  These so called scientists are using data collected from devices that are either not calibrated correctly or placed in a location where it cannot gain an accurate reading of the temperature.  Even a dummy like me knows that if you put a thermometer next to black asphalt that it will register a higher temp than if it was suspended over grass.  But apparently these climate scientists do not know that.

And then last year, giving the prize to Barack Obama, who has done nothing on the international stage just shows how out of touch the people who give the awards are.  Since I guess Norway is a Socialist country they must give credence to anyone who espouses the same dogma.  I wonder if you can take it back after Barack Obama has basically killed the US economy.  So much for contributing to peace.  Promises do not lead to results.

And then this year, they gave it to a guy in prison in China in the hopes it will lead to more democracy in China.  Just another hopeful presentation of an award.  Now the guy's family is probably imprisoned.  Thanks Nobel.

Through all the years, they never award the prize to individuals who truly deserve it.  They gave it to Gorbechev but not to Reagan, who was probably the more influential in ending the cold war.  But they could not do that because Reagan was a Capitalist not a Socialist.  In 1945 they gave it to Cordell Hull for helping to establish the United Nations but not to Eisenhower or Winston Churchill who led the forces that removed the Nazi party that committed awful atrocities in Europe.  Those two men did more for peace than anything the United Nations has ever done.

I will give profs for two of the selections.  Martin Luther King and Mother Theresa are probably the only two people I would even consider worthy of the award.

Personally I think the Norwegians ought to get heir heads out of the asses and begin to realize that war and peace is a dichotomy and they can not be apart from each other.  Thus to wage war is to also make peace.  To only recognize people who supposedly seek peace, eliminates the fact that their actions can lead to war.
