If you look at the previous recipients of the Nobel Peace prize , the award has lost much of it's luster! Jimmy Carter, Al Gore , Yasser Arafat and Kofi Annan were very questionable recipient themselves. Jimmy Carter is an anti-Semitic, Pro-Palestinian sympathizer , whose Administration represented absolute failure.The only thing he is good at is hammering nails!Al Gore rides around in corporate jets and SUV's advocating that people reduce their carbon footprint.What a hypocrite! Yasser Arafat was just a plain old TERRORIST! He was not an honest peace broker in the Middle East.Kofi Annan presided over one of the weakest and most irrelevant organizations in the world, the United Nations.The UN gives a platform to rogue nations and is not effective in intervening in any international crisis.They ride the backs of the American taxpayer's to clean up and police the world's problems.
