The Nobel Peace Prizes have unfortunately become a joke, not only because of this year's comments from the board's chair, but also because of the move to take away Peres' prize and let Arafat keep his.

Incredible!

It's really a shame, too, because at one time the Prize meant something. Its politicization is sad. What's wrong with giving it to people like Mother Theresa, the lady who got organized the mine removal thing, and other less politically-involved folks instead of to political animals who can disappoint and cheapen its prestige?

I mean, Arafat?

What a joke.
