This was the second Nobel Peace prize awarded to a leading Democratic critic during Bush’s administration. The 2002 prize went to former President Jimmy Carter for his “masterful handling of the Iranian hostage crisis during his presidency.” In November of 1979, the new Iranian government under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini invaded the U.S. embassy and took over 60 Americans hostage for over 400 days. The Nobel committee commended Carter for “his patience under duress that enabled the crisis to be brought to a peaceful conclusion in January of 1981.”
