Technically if you kill everything you will have peace, so those boys deserve it!

Ghandi... Martin Luther King Jr... now George Dubya.

Something doesn't seem quite consistent here. Intelligence, peaceful ways of getting your point across...

Historically, peace is achieved most often through victory and least often through diplomacy.  You all know the phrase "History is written by those who've won" I presume?  It's usually quite peaceful after one contestant in a conflict ceases to exist.  If peace is the desireable end result for awarding this prize, then are the means of arriving at that peace actually spelled out, or are they merely implied?

Perhaps this prize is more about subscribing to a certain set of ideals than achieving any actual peace.

Except Castro actually deserved it for saving his country, and was able to keep the highest quality of living in the latin world until 1989.

Arafat is a different story, one that belongs in the same catagory as Bush
