All this should be due responsibility of a politician from a country which produce the most weapon and waste, short change peace for democracy, environment for economy. He won the prize, that's fact but that is not achievements worth a Nobel Prize yet, that's my personal view.
Last year Peace Nobel prize winner helps many people to have a better life, I have not seen the true result of AL Gore's work yet.
If that's the standard, National Geography can get peace prize too and 881 can get a literature Nobel Prize for underworld liao.
i see your point in the argument. perhaps the peace prize is given more for "work in progress" rather than "lifetime achievement". just look at the peace laureates in the past couple of decades. a glaring example might be the one(two) given for peace in palestine...
i suspect i'll see national geographic gets a nobel peace prize in my life time...
For those who talk of a man being able to bring about peace in this world, let me give you a quote, "There can be no peace this side of the grave". So there you have it, peace is always a work in progress, the work is never finished.
