Ironic, eh?
If Kissinger of the-bomb-the-fuck-out-of-cambodia and launch-a-coup-against-Allende can get a Nobel Peace prize for Vietnam, Putin should certainly get one for Syria, after all he didn't even attempt to bomb the Syrian to the peace negotiation table, how much more peaceful can one get?

For me, after the fail of giving the prize to Obama in 2008, the nobel commision gained back my trust after awarding Liu Xiaobo in 2010.
Of those, only Gorbachev, Arafat and Rabbin can by any finite twist of imagination and logic be said to deserve a Peace prize.
The Nobel peace prize is not, at least by open admission, the Nobel post WWII northern European sensibilities prize.
