    Muderers don't deserve peace prizes, no matter their "reason"

    Yes, sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do.

    Such a man NEVER deserves an award for PEACE.

    Ever.

    Period.

    That's my point. You can't just wash clean the tens of thousands of deaths this man ordered because he helped Germany reunite. It does not work that way.

    And I would add that there is an assumption on your part that the war with Iraq was a "war of necessity." I see no such evidence. In fact, here's what I see.

    I see that one of our foreign policy people, under the leadership of Bush, gave Saddam a green light to invade Kuwait. I see that Bush used that as an excuse to attack Iraq before proper measures had been taken and given time to work as alternatives to war. Is see that once the war against Iraq had begun, Bush chose to use tactics that resulted in tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties. I see that the pretext was a lie, that the prosecution of the war was brutal, and that he left Iraq in shambles.

    Those are not the resume of a man deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize, no matter how you slice up the rest of his career with a fancy editing job and nice words. Period. End of story.

    Your defense of this man shows you to be...well...similar to him.

    And no, Gore didn't deserve the award either. Nor has any president or vice president to serve since WWII. They're all crooks, liars and murderers. Giving them awards for peace is utter nonsense.

      I'm laughing so hard at you.

      So now I am a murderer too? Great response, Mr. Reasonable.

      For your next trick, can you please demonstrate how the younger Bush orchestrated the 9/11 attacks, and how Clinton committed murder , and identify the man on the grassy knoll?

      There are probably at least 50 million people around the world right now who are glad that there are people with balls big enough to do what has to be done. And if that doesn't deserve a prize, I don't know what does.
