The Nobel prize has been a tool of the nasty rich and powerful of late. It is a political statement to receive the Nobel prize rather than a token of peace.
Howard would have backed Stalin and Adolph Hitler for the same prize had they been around. But thats John Howard and more to the point, it is a reflection of what we've become.
Like many of the Nobel prize jokes of recent times, they have to find a counter balance to the reciepient like Begin and Sadat. A butcher and a peace maker. Like Boetha with Mandella, so why not Bush and Saddam?
Alfred Nobel was the father of Dynamite (a destructive one), his father or unlce Ludwig was a great oil explorer pioneer, another commodity which is the cause of most of our wars and death.
John Howard has no peer when it comes to Blind obedience, sychophancy and subservience. And that pig on trotters he calls his wife so eagerley plays second fiddle to the dog.
