#2 Well, Obama and Yassir Arafat got one. So perhaps with a high bar standard like that.....

The Nobel has in the past missed Mengele ( advancement of Medicine )and Idi Amin ( brotherhood of man ), of course, but then they can't reward all the fine examples like Obama and Snowden who are out there.
Perhaps next year.
