Peace Prize? At what price.

Anyone can be nominated--but the nominator has only one vote. International opinion is against them.

Noddy, I just can't believe they would even be nominated. Although Jimmy Carter probably lost his second term because of the hostage thing, he deserved that Nobel Prize. Hmmmm. Maybe that nomination has a purpose.

Several years ago I read an article--I think in The Atlantic pointing out that the Nobel process, particularly for the Peace Prize involved a great deal of behind-the-scenes political manuvering. As I remember--and my memory is not what it used to be--nearly a thousand people have the right to make nominations.

Internationally, I'm sure that one in a thousand people support our pre-emptive action in Iraq. Some of the rest are unaware or indifferent, but the majority of the voters.....

Poor Alfred. His intentions were soooo "nobel"..and even then it took a stick of dynamite and the cash thereof, to do it.
