Gore, U.N. body win Nobel Peace Prize

It’s not the first time those (un)wise people at the Nobel committee have given the Nobel “Peace” Prize to a left-wing politician – other recent recipients include Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat.

While Gore isn't in the category of putting back peace, as Carter and Arafat clearly are, it is not quite clear what he has done to advance peace.
