Bush and Blair. Can you share a Nobel prize?

He has done more than anyone in history to reduce nuclear arms, after all.
And so is cutting the world's largest nuclear arsenal from around 7,000 to less than 1,700. That's usually a good thing, so far as peace is concerned.
Oh wait, you were trying to say that's a bad thing?
For me : if you say Skycrepers , i will say New - York.
I saw a cool documentary recently, where they interviewed many of the Nobel Committee. It seems they often give the prize to those who they also wish were a little more peaceful.
Like Yasser Arafat when he got it - although I still don't get that one.
Oh well, Bush is still planning to build his 'peace laser' so maybe he deserves it.
Yeah i don't get that one either. Maybe they can revoke it?

Why should they? Because Bush said Arafat is a terrorist? "Hey they are not with us. Go bomb Oslo" <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
BTW. Harald Tom Nesvik nominated B&B (all members of the Norweigian parliament can nominate). It is not the most flattering thing in the world to be nominated by a member of Fremskrittspartiet. Like their danish sister party its clearly racist (the founder of the danish Fremskridtsparti said just four month ago that ALL immigrants (also political refugees) from Islamic countries is send by Iran to kill all danes. They all wait for the signal and then they will get their knives and cut the throats on all danes and one of their candidates to the last election denied the killing of jews during WWII). Even if B&B in some freak accident got the Nobel prize they should refuse to accept it because of who nominated them.

They should because Arafat is a terrorist.
<strong>Part of it may be that, BRussell, yes. Ousting an oppressive regime and replacing it with a less oppressive democratic system is generally smiled upon.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Hitting back against bin Laden was necessary, but it's ludicrous to suggest it deserves a Peace prize.
Other than the fact that you dislike him, of course.
And what does this have to do with nuclear disarmament anyway? The nomination had nothing to do with that.
This is truly a strange thread that would never have started if it haven´t been for a attention seeking member of the norwegian parliarment for a racist party.
People can agree or disagree on the actions taken under the label "war on terrorism" but noone in the nobel comity will take such a suggestion seriously.
Edit: NEVER instead of EVER.

<strong>I think that giving this prize to rudolph Guliani and the architect of the twins , will be a fantastic symbol.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Oh please. What have Guliani and Minoru Yamasaki done for peace? Guliani has done a great job for his citizents but lets keep things seperate.
<strong>The only concrete thing Bush has done so far regarding nuclear weapons is abandon one of the cornerstone nuclear-era treaties. Has even a single nuclear weapon been disarmed under Bush?</strong><hr></blockquote>

Give it a little time.

Just an example of how, maybe, despite your own bias it isn't such a foolish idea to nominate him.

he certainly helped create peace of the attacks in NYC and did a great job and went beyond what he was ever expected to do.
He deserves i just as much as the others named in this thread... not like that is saying much.. but still

Hmm, you think George W. Bush should get a Nobel Peace prize and I don't, and I'm the one who's biased?
:eek:
