Another nice award for Al Gore

Al Gore has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor he shares with Yasser Arafat and Le Duc Tho. Gore has received a number of awards and honors from Europeans, who seem to wish to punish George Bush's policies by showering awards on his defeated opponent. (Gore would have been president had he carried his own state of Tennessee, but he couldn't manage it.)

Unfortunately for Europe, the United States has been independent now for more than two centuries. It's nice for Gore that he won the prize, but who now remembers Frank Billings Kellogg, who won the Nobel for co-authoring the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928, which outlawed war? How's that pact working out?


Americans have happily been ignoring Europeans for quite a long time, except when they have dragged us into their various wars between awarding people peace prizes.

Wrong man won-

Bush should have received the Nobel Peace prize for Getting Libya to abandon WMDs, for getting North Korea to abandon its WMDs, for Freeing the people of Iraq, For freeing the people of Afghanistan, For challenging Iran and its Nuclear ambitions. For lighting the fire under the UN on Sudan and Darfur. For taking a leadership on solving the Palestinian situation. For the 15 billion dollars in AIDs relief for Africa. For diffusing the war chances between India and Pakistan. Not AL Gore, that is for sure.

Nominations

Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini were also nominated for the award. Says alot about Gore, doesn't it?
