The Nobel Peace Prize for someone who's about to take the decision to send 40,000 more troops into Afghanistan.

Nice.

Nobel has been spinning in his grave for the past 10 years...

Obama won based on his campaign...

When has anyone won the Nobel Peace Prize based on a political campaign?

Obama winning is a joke...

Peace is often found by means of fighting.

I dunno if he qualifies but Paul Newman should have been consider or at least a candidate.

I really find this to be total bullsh*t

He's been in office for a few months and he hasn't even really done anything. Based on this, it seems they should've given Michael Jackson a posthumous Peace Prize

Krugman won a Nobel Peace Prize. They really didn't matter after that.

reasons given:

[b]-Envisioning a nuclear free world (how many bombs has he disarmed?)
-Reestablishing unilateral negotiations (not with the Taliban... doesn't this also mean: "following the laws he agreed to follow"?)
-Respecting the role of the UN and international institutions (A qualification shared by the leaders of almost all first world nations)
-Addressing climate change (which apparently strengthens democracy and human rights...)
-Captured the world's attention (Bush did it)
-Hope for a better future (irrelevant)
-His values about diplomacy are the same as those shared by the majority of the world (this is getting to the point of nonsense...)

Billy Mays should have won this first. Theres a true oreator and he NEVER in his entire life made a political blunder. He envisioned a spot free world, constantly promoting the cleaning power of oxi-clean. He convinced millions to agree with him due to his negotiational values and he promoted a better world with the countless products he convinced the public to utilize to achieve this better, cleaner, safer world.

Unfortunately he tended to disturb the peace where ever he went and in most of Europe it was legal to shoot him on sight.

The stupid award is a joke anyway.

Do they at least give you some money when you're award this? Or is it some lame plack?

Holy crap, it really takes nothing to get a Nobel Peace prize.

Until this happened, in order to win one you had to be a war criminal or a war monger exploiting war ravaged areas. Now even that is not a criteria.
Just lazy.
