So... your argument is basically.

He should win the Nobel Prize because he's not George W Bush.  In that case... pretty much every US president should be getting a Nobel Prize from here on out.

When else did the Nobel Prize people get it wrong? 1994. 

Also the complete snub of Gandi... who deserved a Nobel prize possibly more then anybody ever.

There are tons of other more qualified candidates out there.

Also... you know these aren't the same people all the time right?  The Nobel Prize commission changes.

im gonna ask cause im actually curious, who do you think should have won?

 

Morgan Tsvangirai.  He was screwed out of an election.  Had every reason to riot.  His supporters were being beaten and tortured as Mugabe drove the country of Zimbabwe farther and farther to destruction... yet he still persisted that people shouldn't get violent.

Then after nobody could convince Mugabe to step down he formed a coalition government with his hated enemy... to peacefully transition power rather then cause a bloody conflict.

He did all this while mourning the loss of his wife who he lost during a car accident.  A very coincidental car accident.

Edit: Oh and he was beaten, had friends assassanated and was almost assassnated himself... for what it's worth.
