For an award with such laudable intentions, the Nobel Peace Prize has certainly had its fair share of controversy over the last century. As well as no-brainer winners such as Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama, there have been more contentious laureates such as Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Sure. Henry Kissinger is one of the worse criminals of this century, yet a Nobel Prize. It is remarkable that they mention Arafat, 1994 Prize Nobel, but they don't mention Menachem Begin, 1974 Prize Nobel, the leader of the Zionist terrorist group Irgun and the man who ordered the terrorist bombing of King David Hotel in Jerusalem, in 1946.
I don't know what to say any more. I suppose that I should congratulate Udo Voigt for nominating Rudolf Hess to a prize held by so many criminals, and for the importance of this nomination for the German people in particular, and for the Europeans in general. I.e., no relevance whatsoever, but with such an ample support from the public, he can afford such eccentricities..

Apart from the fact that a leading Nazi was never a likely contender for a peace prize, nominations to the Nobel Peace Prize are by invitation only and nominees must be alive.

German police in the eastern city of Jena said Friday they have charged the NPD leader with inciting racial hatred. If convicted, Voigt could face a jail term of up to three years or a fine.

Three years imprisonment for retardness is over-abusive.
