As though peace is the highest ideal.
How could Winston Churchill have won the award? Would surrendering to the Germans to achieve 'peace in our time' been enough?
Instead he fought against evil, helping to create a Europe where peace could flourish. But that never is awarded.
Where is the award for combatting tyranny? For being a champion of freedom? The award that would have been won by Churchill, FDR, Lech Walesa, the nameless people of Tianamen square? Sakarov and Soltzeneitzin (sp)
That would be an award far more worth winning.
