While I applaud the committee recognizing his efforts, I'm afraid that it WAS too soon. The intent is great, but too early. Had this come next year after some actual accomplishments, it would mean more. Instead, it cheapens the peace prize into a mere popularity contest, and that dilutes its importance. I appreciate how relieved everyone is that the s***head before is gone and the world is relaxing a bit. But the peace prize should be about accomplishments, not desires.
But it does say something to the bleating whiney dittoheads out there that success comes to those who do, not to those who bawl that they aren't getting their way all the time.
