Thursday

Let's ask the residents of Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, Memphis, Washington D.C., etc.

Peace through war or extortion isn't really a peace.

Winners quietly do good deeds and like Jewish giving, is done anonymously, without expectations.

Jimmy Carter comes to mind.

Has any diktator won the prize? To Wiki: No dictators have won the Nobel Peace Prize, but some, including Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Stalin, were nominated for the award. Hitler's nomination was a satirical attempt by a Swedish anti-fascist politician and was withdrawn. Mussolini and Stalin received legitimate nominations for their actions related to World War II and the post-war era, but neither was shortlisted for the prize.
