The Nobel Peace Prize- A Joke

With the news that Al Gore has just won the nobel peace prize one should take a look back at some of the past winners and Al Gore himself.
2007-Al Gore- how does an inconvenient truth have anything to do with promoting peace?
2005-Mohamed El Baradei- the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency for trying to stop all nucler development for non peaceful reasons. He sure is doing a great job with Iran.
2002- Jimmy Carter- I didn't know promoting anti-semitic sentiment helps peace?
2001-U.N+Kofi Annan- see Jimmy Carter
1993-Yasser Arafat-see Jimmy Carter+U.N
Shimon Peres- trading away Israel apparently is a peaceful endeavor for him

It seems to me that today the Nobel Peace Prize means absolutely jack and has become a political prize(mainly for extreme left wing ideologues), and doesn't actually find the person who best promotes peace in the world.

somebody who actually promotes peace. Not a man who promotes a political ideology.
