We are once again in the land in which criticism of US policy is dubbed anti-American and in which some of the previous recipients of the Nobel prize are dubbed "savages," I take it you don't believe that Nobel Peace Prize winners who plan and execute attacks on Olympic athletes and send children to their death in bomb attacks against civilians are savages? If those are your standards, I suppose Idi Amin would be a great candidate for the Prize. You need to scratch the surface behind the Prize. Getting it does not canonize the recipient. I have no huge problem with Carter getting the Prize. He's a nice enough fellow, though a little fuzzy headed, like his trademark sweaters. He was a terrible President, however.

When will journals like the Weekly Standard grow up? John, you have really outdone yourself this time. I posted a direct quote from the Nobel Committee Chairman that said, in so many words, that this award was given to "Get Bush." I posted it to show just how vicious and slanted these awards are. It does not make any difference whither I got the quote by Carrier Pigeon, Telegraph, Telephone, a Qualcomm Wireless Phone, or on a "tablet from Mt Sinai," (the NYT), it is his direct quote. I gave the reference to establish that I had not made the quote up. And what do you do? You go to the reference, and then post "Ugly Article", and further remarks about the quality of the article and the Mag it came from. YOU DO NOT MAKE ONE COMMENT ABOUT THE QUOTE! This is a classic example of your "Attack the Source" method of argument. We are all on to you, John.
