...President Bush, and Tony Blair have been nominatted for the Nobel Peace Prize? I found this out and I was somewhat shocked. They have been nominatted, and so if one of them wins the vote for it they win it(duh). So, does this come as a surprise to some of you, or have you already heard about this? What you do think about this? Do you think that the conditions to receive the award should be written in a less ambiguos way?

(Sorry, no link. I read it in the news)

Also, I forgot to say something that some of you probably know, but others may not. The panel consists of five elected Norwegien* members. I say this so that it prevents the conspiracy theorists here from concluding that it is a big propaganda scherade.

I meant to say charade. Yup, my spelling sucks and I dont use the "Word-cut and paste method"...sue me.

Really though, this is interesting because the panel is foreign and seems to have no motivation for choosing a particular person outside of what the award conditions specify.

Kissinger, a guy who can't fly for fear of being arrested when he lands, won the Nobel Peace Prize, it can't be that hard.

True. When two men start a war and get a Peace Prize, you know something fishy's going on.

It appears Bush was nominated, 'though with like no chance of winning. Snopes seems to have something about the rumour in 2002: Nobel Prize!, which I guess is worth a read.

The 2003 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Shirin Ebadi

Bono was up for the same award. Bush and Blair have made the guy who sang the tob raider movie theme make sence in comparison. As it should the award went to someone I couldn't try to name because they cared mored about helping people than having p.r.


I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's

i jsut started putting ppl down i didnt number by importance or lack of

and yes i do care about the nobel peace prize, and i think that if bush gets the nobel peace prize it might help him get re-elected in 2004 or it might make him look better to the U.N. Bush deserves neither of these propositions

I wonder if the leaders of Palestine and Israel were on that list too? I mean, they're constantly working out peace treaties.....

if george bush wins what will he win it for? starting a preemptive war with a weak middle eastern country, spying on his own people and reversing fifty years of american civil rights progress, founding "marriage protectiong week?" yeah maybe that's it. i've never seen a nobel peace prize, but is there or isn't there some little plaque with an explanation of why they won it inscribed therein? just curious. personally, i think this is a hoax

I figured that I would bump this topic since things around here are always said about 15000 times in a row...and also because this is old news.

BWS, there really was no point. Now we have three topics, where one would have more than done.

I could see Bono getting a Nobel Peace Prize. He's actually out and about trying to settle differences between nations. Bush is out and about raising hell and bombing nations back into the stone age, under the premise of "peace."

Fact: There wasn't enough left of Cobain's skull to make a visual identification of his corpse. Investigators had to look through the wallet in his pants pocket to confirm his idendtity. His remains were cremated not long after.

And youre telling this to me? See the date of this at the top opposed to the dates of the other threads? Yes, I didnt have to bump it, but as I said people here seem to repeat the same shit 15000 times.

Why would it be suprising? They deposed a long-term enemy of peace, and ended the oppression of 24 million people.
