120,753	1:15 pm PST, Jan 14	Marylou Howell	51	Female	Cape Coral	Florida	United States	Blair and Bush, started an illegal war for their own gains. They should never be given any prize for that terrible war they started for oil.

120,746	5:04 am PST, Nov 4	Rita Campbell	58	Female	Wasilla	Alaska	United States	I can think of few people MORE UNWORTHY of a Nobel Peace prize than George W. Bush. He has sacrificed the lives of our men and women in uniform to no good purpose, CUT needed funding for our veterans with TBI, ignored the suffering souls in the Gulf coast after Katrina, sacrificed the lives of innocent civilians in Iraq, pressed for an unconscionable war with Iran, cut needed funds to schools, senior citizens, disabled and indigent citizens, and God knows what else. He's a WAR CRIMINAL, A LIAR, A RICH MAN'S SON WHO IS GOOD FOR NOTHING! What about Abu Graib, and Guantanamo, and extraordinary rendition? I am sickened, disgusted, and revolted at the mere thought of him and his constant lies. NO PEACE PRIZE FOR THE WARMONGERING LYING GW BUSH, and no peace prize for Blair the poodle. Blair ruined his career for the sake of Bush. Not in a million years would I have the Nobel Peace prize cheapened by having it given to such despicable scoundrels!
120,745	8:19 pm PDT, Oct 29	Kurt T	19	Male	duncan avenue		United Kingdom	HE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE WORLD BAR NONE! 9/11 was an inside job!! the london bombings were an inside job, we need to rise up together against these murderers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
120,744	6:02 pm PDT, Oct 23	catherine larouche ( Death to Bush)	16	Female	Qu�bec		Canada	We're in the end of 2007 and evweryday i'm watching the news, all that I hear is about war.And who is responsible for that? I think that the evil ax begins right in Bush's. I guess I have a single question about him: Why? Why all that hatred, why does he wants to dominate that bad? He must really have a confidence problem ( If I rely on psycology )
120,743	4:39 pm PDT, Oct 22	Alex Gibson	22	Male	Palmerston North		New Zealand	Why should someone get rewarded for killing so many innocent people?
120,742	11:07 am PDT, Oct 22	Anonymous	18	Male	West	California	United States	Bush, is the #1 terrorist of the world.
120,741	12:14 am PDT, Oct 21	Victoria Mary Stong Civil Rights Activist	44	Female	L.I.C.	New York	United States	With all due respect to President Bush; WHAT'S PEACEFUL ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICAN'S DIEING FROM NEGLECT/ABUSE/DESTRUCTION/LACK OF BUILDING BRAND NEW LEVI'S IN THE KATRINA AFFECTED AREA'S OF MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA, TEXAS, FLORIDA AND LOUISIANA? WHAT'S PEACEFUL ABOUT NEW YORK CITY NOT BEING PROTECTED FROM TERRORISTS ON 9/11 & NOT GETTING THE 41 BILLION PROMISED? WHAT'S PEACEFUL ABOUT ALL THE APPLICATIONS FOR FEDERAL DISASTER FUNDS THAT ARE TAKING YEARS TO GET IF AT ALL? WHAT'S PEACEFUL ABOUT MOTIVATING OUR U.S. SERVICEMEN TO FIGHT A WAR BASED ON A LIE TO GET THEM TO KILL IN A FOREIGN LAND? I'm sorry I have to bring up all the past history of the Bush Administrations neglect, abuse and coverups like denying Ground Zero Workers Health Coverage for ALL their Health Issues and other issues directly related to the 9/11 attack. It's just that I must call it as I see it though I honestly don't want bad feelings with anyone. I just want all Citizens of the United States regardless of who they are to be treated with the respect, dignity and care they deserve. THAT is not a favor and RESPECT IS NOT A FAVOR. We all need to work together as a team and help each other instead of going to War based on BOGUS reasons and killing innocent Iraqi's! I believe in fighting Terrorism every chance we get, BUT not on lies. I wish President Bush would look to the United Nations to assist him with Foreign Relations instead of saying "hey, lets' start a fight" or something. Diplomacy is extremely important and is an absolutely great tool for any issue. Civilized leaders sit at a conference table and work out their issues. Uncivilized leaders just jump the gun and fight, fight, fight. We need to learn to be more patient and understanding of each other and be more respectful of our fellow woman, child or man. We are ALL God's children and we need to know that when you fight based on negative things like race, you're INSULTING God! God wants us all in peace, harmony, diversity and unity. AMEN.~~~~~~~Respectfully & Sincerely, Ms. Victoria Mary Stong / Humanitarian & Civil Rights & International Community Activist-Long Island City, New York

Reject Nomination of Bush and Blair for Nobel Prize

Dear Nobel Prize committee

I am writing to protest the nomination of UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George W. Bush for the Nobel Peace Prize, and to urge the committee not to award this prestigious recognition to them.

Norwegian Member of Parliament Harald Tom Nesvik announced that he has submitted a nomination for Tony Blair and George W. Bush for "their decisive action against terrorism, something I believe in the future will be the greatest threat to peace."

From what I understand, the provisions set by Alfred Nobel specify that the winner of the Peace Prize "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

However, Tony Blair has ordered more military actions than any U.K. leader since World War II, with at least one military action every year since 1998. George W. Bush has initiated a war not only against Afghanistan, but an undefined, open ended "War on Terrorism" which administration officials threaten to expand to other nations such as Iran, North Korea, and Iraq.

In pursuit of his "War on Terrorism," Bush has urged massive increases to the size and funding of the U.S. standing military. He has also embroiled the U.S. in civil wars throughout the developing world. U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has stated that the global "War on Terrorism" launched by Bush "may never end. At least, not in our lifetimes."

Many global peace groups have been working hard and making change toward ending violence and global suffering, but have been stonewalled or even intimidated by the war administrations of Bush and Blair. The courageous, nonviolent direct work for peace by groups such as Women in Black (a 2001 Nobel Peace Prize nominee) and the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, stands in direct contrast to the global warfare launched by Prime Minister Blair and President Bush.

Perpetual war is not peace. Whether or not Bush and Blair's actions are justified, their extensive and expanding pursuit of warfare is not the same thing as working for peace by any definition of the word, and does not amount to "fraternity between nations, ... the abolition or reduction of standing armies and ... holding and promotion of peace congresses."

I hope that the Nobel Peace Prize committee will reject Nesvik's proposal and choose to make an award that will respect the unique prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the individuals and groups who have truly worked for global peace.
