Bono Wuz Robbed!!!
The Nobel Peace Prize is an impossible concept. The committee must be feeling that progress toward peace it so unsuccessful that the award must reflect the degree of effort that sucked the least. I don’t even think Mohamed ElBaradei and the IAEA were really even considering that pursuit of ‘peace’ when they went sleuthing around Iraq the last few years. They were using Inspector Gadget when you really needed Penny; because there was nothing out there. I guess the committee was making a finger-to-nose gesture with the rest of the world at the U.S. Saying: "we feel ya' dawg". Of course, Alfred Nobel would be say "tisk, tisk, tisk", at the superpower of the free world recklessly carrying about a foreign policy that promotes peace as toilet tissue, doormats, and false motivation to a ‘free people’. What a joke though, to give it to a bunch of guys who did little, if anything to stop the war. They may as well have given it to Colin Powell.
Someone should clue these clowns in. The fact is, we are running out of peaceful options and NGO's that are relevant against such blatant abuses of power. Not like it matters anyhow, Peace itself is such an elusive little dove anyway, shitting all over the world, while activists try to feed it seed and capture it for weddings. It is so hopeless to even pursue peace. It’s like trying to find TRUTH. Abstract concepts are not going to appear by happenstance. Well, maybe at the top of the mountain, truth can be found after ten years of silent meditation.
In the end they should have given it to Bono. He was robbed. I think the rockin’ globetrotter deserved it just for effort. The oft-glasses-clad Irish-American has been selflessly promoting one sort of Nobel (sic) cause or another since the Pop Tour. However, I guess all was lost when he donned a jean jacket with the American flag stitched to the inside. You see, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has strict standards. You simply cannot wear a flag that was made in a different country than that depicted on the flag. Sorry. Next time pal, until then keep on searching for that which you are looking for.
