Hmm...I think Mao took care of a few million Chinese on the mainland, didn't have to venture out of country for bloodshed. And then there's Tibet..and perhaps a few thousand to help north Korea You read interesting history, TJ. SG

Any organization that gives the Peace Prize to an incredibly corrupt murderous guy who takes an AK 47 into the UN Building deserves to have its judgment questioned. Awarding O! the Prize may have been a subtle attempt to tie his hands with respect to Iran and Afghanistan, similar to the gambit I think was used when it was awarded to Arafat, that slimy shit. Of course, he was completely unaffected by it. O!'s campaign posturing on Afghanistan is coming back to haunt him. A lesson in the fact that words sometimes do count. I don't see how he can wiggle out of Afghanistan without incurring a major political setback. Of course, if he does wiggle out, the Islamists will declare mission accomplished, harp on the fact that they beat the two great Satans, etc., ad nauseum, and become re-energized. So my bet is that the Peace Prize winner has no choice but to keep going the course in Afghanistan, throw more money and men into that bottomless pit. It would help if OBL were to be captured and shot, like he needs to be. Our enemies smell blood but a wounded tiger is a very dangerous thing.
