The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a political body, the Norwegian Parliament through a committee of its members. This body, which gave its peace prize to the war criminal Henry Kissinger of all people, is unlikely to be giving any awards to current U.S. domestic critics of W&Co's invasions, wars & occupations, no matter how deceitfully & barbarously waged.

very hard to choose - but I've been voting for Al for so long it seems disloyal not to.

Illegal ars will only end when soldiers refuse to participate. Lt. Watada's brillian speech to Veterans for Peace in Seattle (August '06) was an eloquent affirmation of the imperative of soldiers' action to bring peace to our times. He and his colleagues deserve the prize, notwithstanding the observations posted by "sloper."

What about Jeff Halper, who created and runs the Israeli Committee to End (Palestinian) House Demolitions???

Give it to George W. Bush; because of his and his regime's actions. the longing for peace and reason has increased worldwide. If we can't impeach him (and whose fault is that, Ms. Pelosi?), then maybe we could elevate him to an implausible irrelevancy (more or less like those to whom he has awarded the Medal of Freedom). The world desperately needs his departure, in whatever manner it occurs.

Give it posthumously to one of the women Blackwater shot up yesterday.

The Nobel Peace prize and other Nobels are much like the Miss. World Contest. Political statements made by a shop keeping bunch to suit commercial interests. As some one said the fact that Kissinger of the death squads was a receipient proves it. So I say George Bush, Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, Tony Blair should all be listed. Lets not sully the really good guys like Col. Watada, Ms. Benjamin (code pinK), the Burmese monks or other unworthies like Sister Kathy Kelly.

I voted for the Monks because they are leading on their own, without a weapon of any kind, a movement to take back their country. Passive ristance has worked before and I feel that now the world knows what is happening this movement will work again. George Bush should have this kind of desire to win their independence in Iraq. Those people do not care enough to take their country back.

I vote for Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!

Lt. Watada's vote should include Veterans for Peace and Iraq Veterans Against the War; it is hard to imagine a more authentic group to advocate for peace in our time. AlaskaVet

climate change and war are our most important issues right now. anyone who can come close to solving these problems.

It was hard enough to be an in-service dissenter in 1972, just back from Vietnam. Today, with better support networking,it is still very difficult, but made more prominent by alternative media. Someday this will become more acceptable and a mainstream award will come to all of us who got sent into exile from our families as anti-war veterans. Rush Limbaugh is my grandmother, my uncles, the cousins who did not join the military, yet stuff their egoes with Lynard Skynner red white and blue self righteousness. Red neck heaven leave me behind.

Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize but the Supreme Court just voted 5-4 to give it to George W. Bush
