 | | Arafat was awarded a share of the prize even though he was listed as a terrorist for years, and with the current situation in the Middle East, one has to admit that getting a peace prize doesn't make one a peacemaker. |
 | | So, my point is that although Kim Jong-il might never make humanitarian of the year, he does deserve some of the credit for the peace talks, just the way other "former" terrorists and authoritarian rulers have been credited for their efforts. |
 | | As for awarding Kim DJ for his efforts to bring democracy to Korea, I think that is a good thing, but he was by no means the only one, or some might say not even the main one. |
