Top 10 Worst Nobel Peace Prize Winners by Human Events 10/22/2009 Human Events finds the leftist-dominated committee in Oslo has a history of making bad awards... 1. Yasser Arafat (1994): This murderous thug shared the prize with Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres. 2. Al Gore and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007): Their global-warming alarmism is a recipe for global-economic disaster. 3. Jimmy Carter (2002): His post-presidential meddling in the international arena made diplomacy that much harder for his White House successors. 4. UN and Kofi Annan (2001): Lucky they got the award before the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal broke. 5. Henry A. Kissinger and Le Duc Tho (who refused to accept the award) (1973): Their Paris peace agreement to end the Vietnam War ended up in shambles and the U.S. suffered a humiliating defeat soon thereafter. 6. Barack Obama (2009): Gives nice speeches but has done absolutely nothing to deserve the award. 7. Woodrow Wilson (1919): His great achievement -- The League of Nations -- proved ineffectual in preventing World War II. 8. International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (1985): Their stance on nuclear disarmament gave comfort to the Soviet Union. 9. Amnesty International (1977): This group has been a constant source of anti-American rhetoric. 10. Mikhail Gorbachev: (1990): The greatest peace achievement of the 20th Century -- the dissolution of the Soviet Empire -- should rightfully be credited to President Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II. h/t Peter D
