I've always regarded the Nobel Peace Prize as being a bit "iffey" - well, they still manufactured explosives, didn't they ?
But those that were awarded it had at least appeared to have done something..
The latest award renders the whole award open to question and, in my opinion, it is now completely without credence.

It is reported in the UK press today that ther Netherlands is pulling their troops out of Afghanistan within a few months and that Canada will follow within two years.
What's the betting that it will finish up with the UK and the US being the only ones left there?
And I'm not so sure that we will win either.
In my opinion setting up fortresses and sortieing out isn't the way. What is really needed is for people as individuals or in small groups getting in with the indigenous people at grass-roots. It can, and has been, done before.
Amongst the questions cynically being asked here are:
1. Who nominated him ?
2. How much were they paid ?
Consensus is that it is time for the Swedes to discontinue these awards as they have now completly lost credence.
