Chinese Human Rights Activist Hu Jia - imprisoned for campaigning for
human rights in the PRC, not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging
reforms of China's communist system. -- not as worthy as Barack
Hussein Obama. (Not to mention the symbolic value of awarding a
Chinese dissident on the 20th Anniversary of the Tianenmen Square
Massacre.)

Greg Mortenson, founder of the Central Asia Institute has built nearly
80 schools, especially for girls, in remote areas of northern Pakistan
and Afghanistan over the past 15 years - not as worthy as Barack
Hussein Obama.

Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, a philosophy professor in Jordan who risks
his life by advocating interfaith dialogue between Jews and Muslims,
also not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.

Afghan human rights activist Sima Samar. She currently leads the
Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission and serves as the U.N.
special envoy to Darfur and is apparently also not as worthy as Barack
Hussein Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama - he's worthy of the Peace Prize for doing
nothing.

Good points. Too bad they made the Peace prize a joke.

Why? Because it's not completely unusual for the prize to be awarded to
promote change...

Never saw that before.

Because our "new" friend Nom de Harry just made it up... Does that
surprise you?

Seems past winners had solid past
accomplishments in the "peace" arena.
Even Arafat, though he proved intransigent in the end.

Who do you think is likely to have a greater impact...

Obama MIGHT in the future, and he might not.
Common prudence says look at the above list first.
Genuine work and sacrifice. Sadat won I think, and paid dearly.
I'm far from an expert on it and don't pay much attention.
That this award strikes me as silly doesn't make me a bad person.

One for time for the right-wing cretins he

"...and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best
work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of
standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.
The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish
Academy of Sciences; that for physiology or medical works by the
Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in
Stockholm, and that for champions of peace by a committee of five
persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting."

From Alfred Nobel's will.
