Now we can add Al's name to all the great names in history
that were deemed fit to have the title "Nobel Peace Prize" recepient.

Hitler
Castro
Stalin
Carter

...to name a scant few.

Funny, but Carter was the only amongst those you mention who received the Nobel Peace Prize. Hilter, Castro, Stalin, and Bush did not. Maybe you read that they were nominated for the award? I suppose that's possible.

Here's the list of actual winners:

Probably the most questionable choice was Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, and Yassar Arafat in '94 for "efforts to create peace in the Middle East."

Just noticed Henry Kissinger won the award in 1973. Now that's a joke.
