out of interest, does anyone know WHO nominated hitler and milosevic this year?
the nobels are a bit of a joke, really. once in every few years, people who deserve it, get it. the rest of the time its worthless.
and yes, at the time, there can be no doubt that Arafat deserved the nobel prize. if we knew then what we know now, it would be a different story, but going on what we knew back then, he deserved it every bit as much as Rabin and Peres. Lets not forget that Rabin was not exactly the most non-violent person a couple of decades before Oslo.
