Well - if (as your examples show) you win the Peace Prize for doing the OPPOSITE of something peaceful (Obama escalated involvement in Afghanistan, Arafat never really gave up terrorism, etc.) shouldn't the prize go to spammers - for promoting global commerce, little blue pills, and Russian brides - endlessly and without discriminating against anyone? They happily share their information with EVERYONE -- ALL THE TIME -- tirelessly. Sure the internet was already there - but spammers showed us all what its true capabilities were!!
