dipy,

re:unless the prize was the Peace Prize.

So you trust and believe Arafat and his organization are not behind terrorism and suicide bombers?

A Nobel peace prize winner endorsing suicide bombers, that's like Mother Teresa supporting capital punishment.

Would I be correct in surmising you have genetic reasons for thinking Nelson Mandela is God?

But let's back up to a previous statement of mine:
The Peace Prize:
Yassar Arafat got one, remember? and Henry Kissinger? According to rumor, Nixon was up at one point.

In 1929, Frank Kellog got one. He pushed a pact outlawing war. Really worked well, didn't it?


So Mandela fits right in with murderous terrorist? OK, if you say so.

How about the architect of the reapolitik behind 7 years of the Vietnam War? Some peacemaker.

And a bad joke who was lost in the clouds?

OK. If you say so.
