EU Awarded Nobel Peace Price

"No experience? No performance? C'mon we're all winners. You can be one too!"

Quote:
OSLO, Norway – The European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for its efforts to promote peace and democracy in Europe -- an award given even though the bloc is struggling with its biggest crisis since it was created in the 1950s.

The Norwegian prize committee said the EU was being honored for six decades of contributions "to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe."
Quote:
But skepticism against the EU runs high in oil-rich Norway, which is not a member and where popular opinion is firmly against membership. Norwegian voters rejected joining the EU twice, in 1972 and 1994.

Is that supposed to reconcile the murder of 6 million Jews and countless "undesirables", then the millions murdered behind the Iron Curtain for 40 of those 60 years?

Peace=War

Off to room 101 for your Peace Prize!

I would've given it to Hugo Chavez - he's earned his reputation as being a prize piece of work.
