They could have given the Nobel Peace Prize to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Paul Rusesabagina or Oscar Biscet. They could have given it to all the activists working for peace in Africa, Afghanistan and the Balkans. But no, they gave it to ManBearPig, in what appears to be one of a successive series of deliberate jabs by the Nobel committee against the current U.S. President. The Nobel Peace Prize obviously now has about as much relevance to actual peace as the Stalin Peace Prize did.
