My grandfather, Rev. Earl Martin Smith, worked very hard on World Peace. He is gone now, but I having spent a large portion of my life in the World at or preparing for War, understood it isn't easy standing up for Peace. So imagine my shock at the latest Nobel Peace Prize - I can only think that someone thinks of it as a reward in consolation for his not getting the Olympics in Chicago. Really there are people out there working hard on Peace right now, not just talking about it, really working on it.

I can't describe how appalled we all were by this.
Stunned indeed; we were as well. One theory put forward in the media is by awarding this prize, it will make it more difficult for the president to advance the war into Iran.
Nobel Peace Prize? Nominations were submitted in February. Again, reality is stranger than fiction.
