Calm down, Brent. I realize that flights of high dudgeon can be quite enjoyable, but - really - save it for another cause. Norway, at least the Nobel Committee and significant numbers of its citizens, has really behaved quite shamefully for at least a couple of generations.

Their Scandinavian neighbor, Denmark, on the other hand, has behaved nobly and heroically over that same time frame. They resisted totalitarian crazies in the 30s and 40s and they resist them today.

On the other hand - Yasser Arafat, Nobel Prize for Peace, 1994.

Are the two gene pools that different?

And I'm not an anti-Norwegian bigot.
