But, of course, she is Betty Williams. . .so we know she ONLY meant this as a gentle chastising born of war-weary frustration - no more than a 'manner of speaking'; and certainly NOT, meant to be taken literally. . .
I mean she stands as a 'protector of life' . . .right?
Are you kidding? After her comments she'd probably be nominated again.
[Alfred Nobel would be spinning in his grave if he knew people like her were getting awards. (And Jimmy Carter too)]
Not to mention the murdering terrorist from the false state of Palestine.Arafat the murderer got a peace prize for murdering Jewish Israeli's and the left applauded him.
What a day we live in.
Why would anyone think it was ever sound in the first place?
"Right now, I would love to kill George Bush."
Nobody could accuse her of being a CLASS ACT.
Die appropriately of a virulent combination of leprosy and AIDS, definitely; be assassinated, never.

By 1976 the Prize was already pretty worthless. If the entire truth was reported they run the risk of the truth not clouding what they want to come.... On August 10, 1976, a getaway car bearing an IRA gunman lost control when its driver was fatally shot by pursuing British soldiers. The careening car slammed into Anne Maguire and her three young children ....

According to wikipedia the prize is about $1.3 US.
I wonder if Alfred Nobel is spinning, and if he would just like to blow-up the whole charade.
'Nuther Leftie. Yawn.
"There can be no sustainable peace while the majority of the world's population lives in poverty," they said. "There can be no sustainable peace if we fail to rise to the global challenge presented by climate change. There can be no sustainable peace while military spending takes precedence over human development."
Envirowacko commie alert. Cops kill terrorists and this bint blames the cops. She has an idiot's morality.
What on earth???
I don't have the exact figures, but the child mortality rates in Iraq before the US went in was tens of thousands higher than what it is now. Therefore by the US going in to Iraq and removing the Sadam tens of thousands of lives are being saved. Children are now getting the medicine they needed. Sadam was using the money to build mansions instead of medicine and food for his people.
I'm not suprised though, the left loves dictators. History will show that the US going into Iraq was the right thing to do.
Jimmy is still alive. Oh wait, I misread.
NObel Peace and literature prize winners have long been a joke. Being a marixts lefty america hater is practically a prerquisite to winning.
Pinter won last year for lit. and gave a totally anti-American speech.
I think he too wants to kill Bush, but he's too gutless to say it.
