Wow! only a mega socialist liberal!

What a wonderful messed up world we live in, when what is supposed to be an award for the those who have actually accomplished something towards the goal of peace is given to someone who has accomplished absolutely nothing other than not being George Bush.

For example last years Nobel Peace Prize winner Martti Ahtisaari accomplished many things in his 30 plus year career. Check out the 2008 press release about the award winning Ahtisaari career.

Throughout all his adult life, whether as a senior Finnish public servant and President or in an international capacity, often connected to the United Nations, Ahtisaari has worked for peace and reconciliation. For the past twenty years, he has figured prominently in endeavours to resolve several serious and long-lasting conflicts. In 1989-90 he played a significant part in the establishment of Namibia's independence; in 2005 he and his organization Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) were central to the solution of the complicated Aceh question in Indonesia. In 1999 and again in 2005-07, he sought under especially difficult circumstances to find a solution to the conflict in Kosovo. In 2008, through the CMI and in cooperation with other institutions, Ahtisaari has tried to help find a peaceful conclusion to the problems in Iraq. He has also made constructive contributions to the resolution of conflicts in Northern Ireland, in Central Asia, and on the Horn of Africa.

Wow! is the Nobel Committee that desperate for candidates or are they just jumping on the Obama bandwagon along with the rest of the liberals in this world. Get a grip people your idiotic award was created by an arms and explosive manufacturer.
