In Counterpunch today, Barry Lando makes a case for giving the Nobel Peace Prize to Vladimir Putin. Well, he asks, would this be any more absurd than awarding it to Obama? And he forgot to mention Kissinger. Jesus, who would write an article like this? What is the point of it? Peace through bombs, murder, death in large numbers. One disgusting dictator supporting another. Maybe Assad could agree to resign, and then he could share in the prize.
I actually think that the idea of a Nobel Peace Prize for Putin makes perfect sense. It would be consistent with such past winners: Theodore Roosevelt (1906), Woodrow Wilson (1919), George Marshall (1953), Henry Kissinger (1973), Menachem Begin (1978), Elie Wiesel (1986), Yitzhak Rabin/Shimon Peres (1994), and especially Barack Obama (2009).
