Seconded:

Tony Blair has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. A Norwegian politician has proposed the Prime Minister and George W Bush for a joint award in recognition of their achievement in ensuring the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Jan Simonsen, from the Right-wing Party of Progress, argued that the leaders deserved credit for laying the foundation of democracy in Iraq.

Finally we can compare him to Henry Kissinger...

Of course, some idiot has also proposed Hitler...

I'm no friend of Blairs, but they did get rid of a tyrant, and democracy at least has a chance now of flowering.

I agree

Yes! Fat chance of succeeding. Any organization that awarded Jimmy Carter a peace price, partly to contrast his stands to Bush and Blair, is hardle likely to give this award to B&B, no matter how well deserved.

And don't forget the prize awarded to Yasser Arafat - sure sounds like illustrious company.

And don't forget they seriously considered a request made to revoke Shimon Peres's award!

I believe the "European Union" has also been nominated.

But perhaps that was a rumour.
