Many congratulations to Barack Obama for winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Here is a list of the previous winners (since 1901) and the Nobel Committee's citation for his award.
PS: Here is comment from The Guardian and Fox News, which curiously follow a similar theme.
PPS: The Times says "Scrap the Nobel Peace Prize". Do you agree?
Can I just add a more contentious article about this which begins, "Scrap the Nobel Peace Prize..." See what you think - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6868863.ece
ReplyDeleteJust because they may have given a 'pointless nobel peace prize' for once doesn't make the award less prestigious.
ReplyDeleteI think other nominees are more deserving of the Award than Obama and they deserve a shot in the future. Don't take away their deserved prize and recognition from ONE mistake.
umm... remind me why obama won the peace prize - he hasn't really done much yet. maybe its for what he plans to do! but still, the nobel prize shouldn't be scrapped over this - and obama rocks! :)
