OK this is a weird question, but how many people have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for bring peace to the Middle East? Given the situation there shouldn't they give them back?

About Me
- Name: Animaltalker
- Location: Lakewood, Colorado, United States
I'm 1/4 Cherokee, 1/4 Mexican and the rest is mostly German. I'm a native Arizonan but I was born in Indiana because I wanted to be close to my Mother. My politics, religious beliefs and tastes in music are muddled thanks to my parents. Mom was a NYC girl raised by the Catholic Charities (And left the church at 21). Her mother was brought to the US by FDR. Mom played classic music for me as a baby and all the great swing bands and male crooners as I grew older. My dad was a farm boy, a staunch Republican who played country western music on his Dobro guitar and hymns on the piano. Both of my parents were musical so I didn't realize I had an unusual voice until high school. I couldn't figure out how singers made a living when everyone could sing! I almost pursued music as a career but while I believe I had the talent & I certanly had the luck, I didn't have the discipline and drive. For now I'm content teaching college chemistry, being happily married to my husband of nearly 15 yrs Bill an architect with the National Park Service, and being a mom to my 20 yr old step-son Clark.

I have no idea... Wish I did -- very interesting thought.
I wanted to thank you for your recent comments on the Code Red blog:
"And everyone tends to miss what Belzer was really trying to get to that it was unfair to ask the soldiers in the middle of a war about their opinion on it, because they were unlikely to have information about the broader aspect of the the war.
And besides has anyone thought that a front line soldier saying something to a US congresswoman that was derogatory about how the war was being conducted, could be interpretted in a way that could leave that soldier in an actionable position? Yeah fact finding mission are a bunch of crap.
And the whole bonus of the thing is with friends like Bill Maher Belzer doesn't need enemies, maher put word in Belzer's mouth."
I was going to make a more direct comment to what VW said, but every time I sat down to write -- some emergency came up. Maybe it was Providence telling me not to bother.
I left two anonymous comments under Katie -- but I give up. I've come to realize that few want to hear both sides of a situation and then sort out the truth objectively.
Truth be told -- that particular debate was screwed from the beginning -- Ros-Lehtinen did not stick to an objective level of conversation. She chose to say something subjectively personal, which is usually a distraction from not having actual facts to present.
Curious thing is that Richard actually did not attack her back. He said something sarcastic about himself... (Bravo, big brother!)

It wasn't for peace in Iraq it was for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
