and you would give it to Obama for? *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 13/10/2009 03:58:22 PM

The other two candidates were Sarkozy and Tsvangirai. Sarkozy has seriously done nothing for peace, and Tsvangirai is a puppet for a still reigning tyrant.

There's no one who's contributed seriously to world peace in the past year, but of those three I'd also choose Obama.

I'd give out the Peace prize once every 5 or 10 years if I had a choice. From the trends, it seems that such exceptional human beings don't appear on an annual basis, and the award invariably cheapens due to poor availability of candidates.
