Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it --Woodrow Wilson

Norwegians take the prize

So the Norwegians do it yet again, the give the Peace prize to a organization that essentially have failed in their mission.
What went trough the heads of the Norwegian committee when they decided to give the prize to IAEA? And why on earth make a point of giving half of it to the person and IAEA chief Mohammad ElBaradei? Could it be that they want to make a statement to the US? Of course...
Remember that the Swede Hans Blix was the IAEA chief from 1981 to 1997, why doesn't he get a part too? He made sure that Israel, India and Pakistan got a piece of the nuclear cake.

During the UN meeting in September there was one area where absolutely no progress was made, that was the non-proliferation treaty, the corner stone of IAEA, sad to see this is. IAEA has failed miserably in their quest, they have not managed to do anything right, North-Korea have refused to sign another treaty and Iran ignores them, what is it they get the prize for? The last time I didn't know weather to laugh or cry was when the Norwegians managed to give the peace prize to one terrorist and one war criminal...
Not to mention that they have previously given the peace prize to the UN and Kofi Annan, perhaps in light of Rwanda, Sudan and oil for food scandal they now regret it? Unlikely...

It's a farce, let's take away the peace prize from Norway and give it back to the Swedish committee, even though they will most likely make the same stupid choices it can be expected of them.

Sincerely
Mr Silence Dogood
