Nothing more than a swipe at W. and his administration.

Just a thought (and not related to Carter), but does the Nobel committee have a narrow view of those eligible as a Peace Prize winner? Peace is sometime obtained by taking a hawkish attitude. Forty years of enormous destructive power in the now unified Germany is gone. Does that qualify as peace?

The man was too good a human being to be president.
This probably sounds strange, but, this is how I feel. I have the utmost respect for him as a human being.
The Wanderer said:it was interesting, or tiresome probably is a better word, I turned on some of the conservative pundits today just to hear what their reaction would be, and of course they set out bashing the credibility of award and its voters, I guess the very idea of a "peace prize" is lost on those who clamor for war, someone even went as far as to blaim to rise of Bin Laden on Carter for granting amnesty to draft dodgers of Vietnam, thus "paving the way for Clinton to become president," and "creating" the situation in Afghanistan... and there are still people who give this man's program an ounce of credibility? (I'm talking about Rush btw, no he didnt actually say those words himself, he had one of his "callers" say that for him, but everyone knows he only takes screened calls and most definitely knew what this caller's agenda was, to his credit he made a snickering laugh and said, "oh I hadn't even thought of that!")
mega dildos Rush...

Lemonite said:It is very disturbing to see the great majority's incessant resistance to acknowledge a fact of human nature that the world we live in is a world regulated and ruled by the threat and the manifestation of excessive force. To think this can be changed is well.. noble, but ignorant.
To think that a man who has disrupted a terrorist network in means unseen before, placed before the world a plan to bring peace to the 2000 old shithole that is Palestine, and make headway into revolutionizing the Middle East as it is known.. Ultimately bringing Peace, and not just a round table discussion with Belly dancers below the table revolting ham and giving BJ's, is shameful, and nothing more than a slap in the face for the Bush Administration.
However, it is nice to know that Bill Clinton is furious at this.

. Dubya's actions are still yet to be seen and proven to actually be instrumental in formulating peace or whether it will just inflame global violence.

I realise I haven't been here a lot recently and probably have no right to make this comment, but I'm going to say it anyway. Lemonite, please, get a freaking clue about the subject you're talking about! Do you know ANYTHING about Palestine or the Palestinian people? Do you know anything of their culture or their history? Perhaps you'd like to explain to some Palestinian friends of mine, who, by the way, are some of the most intelligent people I've ever been fortunate enough to meet, exactly why you believe their country to be a "shithole." Or perhaps you'd just like to tell me why you hold such a negative opinion of Palestine?
