I no longer hold high regard to the Nobel Peace Prize, which had been awarded to such person as Kim Dae Jung, Arafat, and so on.

I however anticipate some repercussions from some others, and welcome any disagreements to my saying.

I always believed anything man does including awarding Nobel Prizes

is bound to have flaws and not to be perfect or ideal in the process of decision making

so that it may well be a matter of relativity  or probability of being right.

In that regard Nobel Prize Committee may well still be respected in upholding

Nobel's ideals and dreams.

The Nobel Prize Committee members may not be as pure-hearted as those cardinals

who choose their pope when we talk about the politics involved in the selection process.

Well, when we say "anybody can make a mistake here and there", it doesn't mean 

that such a mistake is always acceptable under grandfarther clause.

It's like an "unconditional forgiveness" just because we are all falliable.

Yes, we, human beings are falliable.

However, when it comes to the Nobel Prize "Committee",

this principle should not be applicable or forgivable.

I think they should not have gotten into politics.

Now, they are nothing but a political activity and organization.

The Nobel Peace Prizes have lost it's prestige long time ago.

Maybe next year, Vladimir Putin should get the same prize. Why not?

FYI;

This is the way Chosun.com, South Korea reported

Controversies and criticisms surrounding the Nobel Peace Prize has a long history

as chronicled in the above article.

Alfred Nobel will be happy if Jung-Un Kim of North Korea gets the Nobel Peace Prize.

After all, both of them developed Mass-Murder weapons with almost empty hands.

In the history of the humanity, only way to procure "peace" was using the mass-murdering weapons.

Without those, there would be no peace and we would always be in a chaos.

  There was only one nuclear attack in world history. The attacked country did not have the nuclear weapon.

  The attacker was the U.S.. She was the sole possessor of the weapon. Perhaps, the best defensive strategy

  of a country is to have nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons have been working well as a peace maker.

  Disarmament of nuclear weapons may cause more wars than before.
