Re: Norwegian Nobel Committee loses all credibility
Tom Brosz — (archived)

Okay, so the leftist leanings of the Nobel committee have not really been a secret, but up until now they were at least subtle about it.

Aside from the rank political motive, obviously intent counts a lot more than results with the Nobel committee. Carter is a nice guy and all, but it would be a lot more impressive if any of his efforts had actually resulted in long-term peace, or hasn't anybody noticed what's going on between Israel and the Palestinians lately?

I wonder if the ex-President who instigated the collapse of one of the largest totalitarian oppressive states on Earth ever got considered.

Of course, last year the winner was Kofi Annan, and an earlier winner was Yasser Arafat, so there you go.

If Saddam decides to surrender rather than fight he'll probably get the next award for "preventing a war." Bush, of course, will get nothing.
