Oppenheimer. The atomic bomb kept the peace for 50+ years, at least
there were no "major" shooting wars for 50 years because no one wanted
to risk a conventional war getting out of hand. Probably the first time
that a weapon was actually too terrible to use.

At the time of the nomination dead line Obama had been a world leader all of
two weeks give or take, before that his most recent important position was a
part time lobbyest for Chicago's Daley Machine masquerading as the Jr.
Senator from Illinois, (a job he still seems to have based on his
performance before the IOC), Even he has said he didn't get the Prize for
his accomplishments. This makes the Peace Prize a joke. So be it, it's a
joke. (Flamie enough for you?)
Flamie enough for whom?
I dare you, P.J., to suggest a candidate that you honestly and
sincerely would like to give the prize to.
