I think I've been nominated three times. "Saved more lives than most people" is a really weak argument if you include policymakers, since then it would include virtually all non-genocidal policymakers. Dude, anyone can be nominated.

But two facts remain: 1. He is committed to the security of NYC, America and human liberty worldwide. 2. Anyone who puts merit still in this propaganda award is supremely misguided. The Nobel Peace Prize will be forever tainted for the 1994 award to Terrorist Arafat that was never repealed and the award two years ago to Jimmy Carter as a direct affront to efforts of President Bush to bring democracy and freedom to areas continually ignored and appeased by Carter and his cronies. The Carter award, and Jimmy's acceptance rather than turning it town in the name of patriotism and support of the Commander-In-Chief is an unforgivable indictment of Carter's anti-Americanism. This is a guy who went on record in the mid-90's to human rights activist Natan Sharansky that Hafez Assad always keeps his word. He turtled during the Iran Hostage Crisis with leadership skills that would make the vice president on the most recent season of 24 look like a decisive, no holds-barred commander. He is ultimately reponsible for his role in allowing North Korea to pursue its nuclear arsenal in 1994 as a representative of President Perjury. I have about as much faith in the Nobel Peace Prize as I do in the UN and the boxing judges at an Olympic bout. Point being, Giuliani wouldn't be a bad choice, but this prize has about as much logic as Syria and Sudan sitting on the UN Human Rights Commission. Instead of talking about peace, President Bush is actively pursuing it in places like Afghanistan and Iraq that Jimmy Carter couldn't fathom democracy ever taking hold. So let's let the Peanut Farmer go monitor some bogus election...better yet, send him to places where it would matter like Zimbabwe, so he can battle both election fraud and racism all at once.
