... will likely be awarded to Bashar Assad. If the Committee can award it to Bishop Desmond Tutu (architect of the vile Durban Conferences and their driving force), Yasser Arafat (may his named be cursed throughout eternity) and Hussein Obama, they can award it to anyone. The likely grounds would be "for being a driving force to restore peace and stability to Syria."

I say the Egyptians who raped that CNN correspondent, or this who escaped the jails and spread terror in the Sinai peninsula. Or maybe the Libyan rebels who murdered thousands of captured Kadhaffi supporters. Heck, maybe those Hamas heroes who lynched the PA supporters, threw them off the roofs and hung them in public squares? I guess that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is spoilt with choices!

Is resulting in more deaths than all the Israeli-Arab conflicts combined. That is some funny sort of 'peace'.

Nothing good has come out of the 'Arab Spring' except ciaos and uncertainties. The so called 'liberators' in Libya will start massacring their own soon and the next government they get will be just another enemy of Israel. Perhaps even more so than the one they had. All the weapons that have gone missing (we knew this would happen), will end up in the hands of the 'strongest' radicals or is already on the way to Gaza (including 20,000 shoulder launched anti-aircraft missile launchers). Assad is still massacring his own people, Egypt is ... who knows where, but definitely not going in a positive direction. Yemen? LOL, Iran is the only one that may benefit from all the 'ciaos' so far. The EU! Give me a break. Like Sarah said, their track record with this ridicules award is atrocious and quite meaningless in the 'real world'. the award is used to pat themselves on the back or to appease, that's it.

...Topeka, Kansas. Mr.Schmidnick, a professional pet sitter, who is used to scooping poop for his daily bread, has shown that he is an impartial arbiter of the Israeli Occupation and the nyearning of the Palestinians to have their own pied a terre. He is quoted as saying, "Huh? who? They want what?. Well. I guess so. where are they anyway? Look. Buffy has made a mess. I gotta clean it up. that english lade looks like Olive Oyl in the Popeye cartoon, don't she?" Undoubtedly a primier candidate for the nobleed Nobel.

then the Arab self-Genocide Spring should get one too. After all, they both promoted World Peace, right?

Today I am ashamed to being Norwegian!

If they really and honestly want o honor a true anti-tyranny activist, they should award the prize to Neda Agha-Soltan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Neda_Agha-Soltan who has been murdered by Ahemdinejad during the latest Iranian uprising. Neda is a true hero of this Spring, not the bloodthirsty Muslim Brotherhoodlums who are behind this so-called "Arab Spring" farce. But the Norwegians don't have the balls to call Ahmedinejad by his real name. These once mighty Wikings have transformed into coward, ass-licking, spineless freaks. What a heap of scum!

Tough choice!

After Arafat(the terrorist),Obama(the terrorist lover),the award is meaningless... I nominate Alfred E Newman from Mad magazine,a far better candidate.."what,me worry"?

Laden...at least he has become an inspiration for large parts of the Muslim world...lol

"person or group that embodies the arab spring" Those who gang raped Lara Logan without doubt .

my neigbor's cat deserve one too, for making an excellent Speech back at Jan 2009 election as the Chief Cat of the province for making peace after a major cat-fight! anyway, Odumba got it too right, miao.... i can't remember for what?

I think it should go to Gilad Shalit, although since the award has been tainted so much, Ashton or Farfour the Mouse seem like better candidates.

Give the price to Prophet Muhammad (piss be upon him)

"The challenge would be to identify a person or group..." No challenge at all! It's Al-Qaeda.

Well of course, after some thinking I realised the obvious connection. Nobel was the Sweedish chemist known for inventing dynamite.If the Arab spring is up for nomination of the Nobel peace prize it should be renamed the Nobel piece prize in memory of all those blown to pieces by his explosive.

Might as well Assad-he is killing to restore peace.

You Jews are hilarious The Muslim world is rising once again, deal with it. Transitions arent easy they are filled with chos and struggle and obstacles and set backs. Transitions can take years, decades, centuries even just look at history The reality is there will be alot of turmoil before the Muslim world finds its path again, but the first steps have already been taken and the muslim would will rise There will soon be 2 Billion muslims on this planet and our destiny wont take us to where the jews want it to Your oppression of our Palestinian Brothers and Sisters has created an immense amount of hatred for the jews It is obvious why you insut the arab spring its because you fear it, you fear that the arab and muslims of the world will rise and with a massive world wide peopulation and resources may just make the jews pay for the crimes they have commited Thats why you insult the arab spring There WONT be any peace between us, the Christians butchered you for centuries, from the Pogroms across Europe to the Holocaust. The relationship between the muslims and jews hasent been perfect but its been far superior to your relationship with the Christians Its a even bigger slap in the face that you then decided to treat the muslims so poorly by stealing the land of the Palestinians so soon after your European allies tried to eradicate you Mend your ways, give the Palestinians peace and there home land back or you will face the consequences and that is why you fear the arab spring and mock it,

We don't fear the Arab spring because your backward countries are not really going to change much. While it is true that many Jews were persecuted by people who claimed to be Christian, true Christians realise that Jews are God's chosen people and Jesus our savior was a Jew. Those who follow Jesus love and respect the Jews. As far as releationships, Muslims do not have good relationships with anyone. Not even each other. There is no love in your religion, only hate. You show that every day wether it be over cartoons or teddy bears or Buddist rock carvings hundreds of years old. You think the Jews are hilarious? I noticed how you laughed at them in 1967. Every time you attack God's chosen people you will end up crying.

The Peace Price should be awarded to Julian Assange and Wikileaks. He has contributed more than anyone else to a cyberspace that has become the most difficult adversary for oppressive regimes. Internet brought Mubarak and Ben Ali down. It will bring Assad, Ahmadinejad, and in the long run the regimes of China, Burma and North Korea down.

I am 34 years old. I have a PhD. in Physics with Spanish professor Jose Maria Mesa (retired) in Unizar (Universidad de Zaragoza). And back in the 90's it was already told to us that we should forget about the Nobel thing because it is a highly politized and "they are islamizied". Back in 90's, ladies and gentlemen. Anyone paying attention to this Nobel stuff? Who cares? Not even for the money, which they do not have anymore.

The real Arab spring will arrive when sharia law will be replaced with an independent secular judiciary system.

I can make several suggestions such as Haniye who looks like an overfed slob, his 'boss' Mashaal and even the present old fella Abbas. To go further back how about the late slob and murderer Arafat? Och wheash! I could name dozens of them. However, if you mean REAL peace, there are hundreds of Israeli's that could be named. Just pick one of them. But please, no more Doobles like Peres etc.

Or how about the Man on the Moon, or is he a girl? It really doesn't matter who gets it, it's all just a comedy act for the Press. But if you want to give it to the needy and a genuine case, how about 'lil'ole me'.
