I should know better than to engage you when you're in this mood, but you've been in this mood since the sock agreement was made and I doubt you'll ever stop.
What's up with the Peace Prize references? Seems to me that a lot of very good people have won that award notwithstanding some awardees who in historical retrospect seem like poor choices.
As far as I can tell, Arafat shared the award so the statement is an accurate one. But the only purpose I can see for the constant references to the honor is to denigrate the award in gneral by partnering it with someone who was not only an antithesis of peace but also a bad man. Is your purpose to point out that the Swedes failed in considering their nominees? Or is your purpose to reduce the award to meaninglessness so that the very good people who have received it for unbelievable humanitarian work are lumped in the same category as undeserving of recognition?
It offends me that the Presidental Medal of Freedom was bestowed upon George "slam dunk" Tenet, but it doesn't mean that I think that the award has been tarnished and the rest of the recipients of that award are as undeserving as Tenet was.
Is your intent to tar Arafat or the Peace Prize or the Swedes or do you just think that liberals blindly adore anyone who has won that prize in the same way we Americans should respect anyone who wins the Presidental Medal of Freedom, the highest award that can be bestowed on our nation?
