yeah but who did do those things this year? anyone?
I'm about as neutral as it comes on Gore, but I think possibly (I would have to go through past winners to really know) that "peace" might be a nebulous term with respect to this prize, and that someone who provided leadership on a global issue such as hunger, education or climate that indirectly affected stability could win the prize
now I'm not saying Gore is that man necessarily or that the climate issue is solved or anything...but I'm ok with these types of issues winning the peace prize
