This once prestigious Peace Award has become tainted to the point of comic insignificance by the obviously liberal—and anti American conservative bias on the part of the Nobel Committee. This became abundantly clear in 1990 when Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded the “Peace Award” for losing the cold war instead of to Ronald Reagan for winning the cold war. But, other interesting Peace Award winners qualify as “head scratchers” to include: Yasser Arafat (1994) “for great courage which has opened up opportunities for a new development towards fraternity in the Middle East", Al Gore (2007) “to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change”, and of course, Barack Obama (2009) "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". The Nobel Peace Award now commands a degree of pride equal to spray paint graffiti on a George Washington statue.
