This probably should have gone onto the politics board because you and I both know where it's going. Can war cause peace? Can you actually have peace without war first? If events over in that part of the world continue going in the way it looks like they are right now then I would say Yes! they should be awarded the Peace Prize. India and Pakistan are talking - Syria and Israel have agreed to talk - their are rumors about Syria getting their occupation forces and puppet government out of Lebanon. Coincidence? or did what happened in the blink of an eye in Iraq get their attention? Only time will tell.

For them too, the nomination would be more credible and meaningful if their decisions were judged in the light of a full decade's hindsight. |

I'd give George Bush the award for the person who looks most like a confused muppet. That's all I'd give him.....besides, even if they do recieve the award, is it really going to change wahat people think about them? If your a Bush supporter, you're still going to be a Bush supporter, if your not a supporter, is it going to make you change your mind about him? I don't think so. So what I'm trying to say is, who really cares....throw 'em a bone, it's not going to change anything.
It's just gotta be for publicity anyway. I equate this with "Who's Brittany Spears dating now?"....same thing...it means nothing.

Wait and make sure what happened holds, see how the Middle East peace talks go, then nominate them if it's still holding together in five or ten years. If what they did works, they deserve it, but I get the feeling that everything will fall apart right after elections.

I do agree with the 10 year thing that Macheath suggested. Who knows, maybe peace and democracy will overtake the middle-east due. rofl

Let's start with my opinion that there is not a hope in hell that they will win. I am not even going to get into whether they should win or not.
More likely is that this puts the thought out there. Then if Bush somehow contributes to a peace settlement between Isreal/Palestine or some similar thing, he'll probably get it. As was pointed out Arafat got one for agreeing to work for peace with Isreal. He could even get nominated if he settles the North Korean issues and gets them to give up their nukes.
