The Nobel Peace Prize Short List

I have two problems with this list:

John Bolton and "peace" should not be juxtaposed. He sits at the United Nations as a representative of Western neoliberal imperialism, not as a peacemaker.

Bono and Bob Geldof succeeded in grandstanding, nothing more. Perhaps, if they possessed genuine concern over the plight of Africans, they would have educated themselves on this "piece of history" they were promoting, an agreement that will do nothing but perpetuate the rape of the poorest nations on the planet.
