and whats more, he probably has a whole team of people paid to come up with his peace-making ideas,does that really 'gel' with the whole notion of a nobel prize?

That goes for every other category except (maybe) in literature.

These two posts represent my thoughts quite well.
"The worker has the right to leave his boss, but can she do it? And if she does quit him, is it in order to lead a free life; where she will have no master but herself? No, she leaves to sell herself to another employer. She's driven by the same hunger. Thus the worker's liberty is only a theoretical freedom, lacking any means of realization; an utter falsehood."
