SERIOUSLY!!!!????

Since when did the requirement of visiting countries to 'promote' peace for about 7-8 months earn you the Nobel Peace Prize....popularity contest perhaps...

I thought one actually had to work for this...do something substantial like say:

-MARTTI AHTISAARI for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts.
-DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS (MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES), Brussels, Belgium
-INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO BAN LANDMINES (ICBL) and JODY WILLIAMS for their work for the banning and clearing of anti-personnel mines
-DESMOND MPILO TUTU , South Africa, Bishop of Johannesburg, former Secretary General South African Council of Churches (S.A.C.C.). for his work against apartheid
-MOTHER TERESA , India, Leader of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity
