It is a political hit piece no better than awarding obama a nobel prize before he did anything as president. I'll make you a bet. There will be a syrian or a refugee who will "win" a prize in the next few years.

What's strange is you attack people and the moderators aren't censuring you.

All you are doing is appealing to the "feels". Should we make a mockery of science just for your "feels" and to push a political agenda?

Anyone remember the clock in a suitcase boy a few years ago? The exploiting and ruining the good name of science in order to push a political agenda?

All of the Nobel peace prizes are political. Including Kissinger's.

Sure. But most people don't understand that. They think it is like the nobel prizes in science - based in achievement.
