GEORGE W. BUSH DESERVES NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
Roberto Savio

JULY 2008 (IPS) - The next Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to George W. Bush, writes Roberto Savio, founder and president emeritus of IPS.

In just eight years, U.S. president Bush has managed to profoundly change his country and the world. I doubt that as president Barack Obama would be able to motivate the formation of an opposition as vast as that of the World Social Forum at Porto Alegre. The clamour of hundreds of thousands of people against imperialism and for a different world was the result of the radicalisation produced in this period. Without it, the creation of a global civil society would have been far slower.

The first major contribution of Bush was to demonstrate that unilateralism can no longer work in a world that is increasingly multipolar. He definitively disproved the theory that war can resolve conflict and demonstrated that there can be no consensus to govern without respect for international law. The failure to ratify a single international treaty (starting with Kyoto) has aroused growing irritation and as a consequence the treaty against cluster bombs has been ratified by almost every country on earth.

1. Don't click link - security risk warning on browser.

At least on my computer, Firefox came up with a big red box warning me not to enter the site, saying the "ipsnews" site had been flagged as a security risk.

Of course, there's an irony in that, isn't there? :rofl:

2. Inter Press Service (IPS) is a respected news organization

Here's the wikipedia entry on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_Press_Service
I have Firefox and don't get the alert you describe.

3. I didn't get a warning

Would this be the Nobel Peace or Piece of Shit Award ?

7. Bush Doesn't Even Deserve the IG-Noble Prize

However, he does deserve a lifetime membership in Club Hague, along with all his buddies, Bushbots and enablers.
