1. "prestigious"? Arafat and Obama won it too!

2. What? "No soup for you?"
(10.12.13)
Syria will have to work harder and longer to justify a Peace prize of ANY kind. So basically it's "back to the drawing board", dear "peace-overs"
3. extremely poor judgment
CJK   (10.12.13)
the nobel peace prize committee has once again demonstrated extremely poor judgment.
4. How typical of Arabs like Fayez Sayegh.
Twenty twenty   (10.12.13)
They have huge problems with their eyesight for they see nothing in their rotten society. They cannot even see or notice the 100000 innocent children, adults and old people they massacred lately, but they damn well see the invisible in Insrael.
5. Don't worry, guys!
Mira ,   Vienna   (10.12.13)
They will act the same way in Iran, remember Obama got (and what is much worse: ACCEPTED!) the Nobel Prize without having moved a finger so far and look what came out of it!
6. SYRIA AND NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR BIG MULTIVERSE   (10.12.13)
SYRIAN OPPOSITION HAS TO MIND HER/HIS/IT''S OWN SYRIAN, NATIONAL, INTERNAL, DOMESTIC BUSINESS, WITHIN OWN SYRIAN TERRITORY, IN THAT CASE, FOR EXAMPLE, EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS.
7. ANGRY BIRDS? HUH?

8. I am ashamed
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.12.13)
Though Israel signed the treaty in 1993, it never ratified it. We should do it immediately!!!
9. Nobel Awards
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Nova Scotia Canada   (10.12.13)
There is a disconcerting trend that is destroying the value of the Nobel awards. The political flavour of the day seems to have become the primary criteria. Obama got the prize for being Afro American, OPCW got it because Syria is now the flavour of the month and Vlad the butcher of Grozny is the new international superhero. The list is, of course, much longer. So Assad comes out clean for having massive stockpiles of chemical weapons and using them? Classic liberal smoke and mirrors. Disgusting, but hey wrong is now the new right, isn't it?
