    Hey, even Arafat won a Nobel Peace Prize.

    It's definitely in decline since those halcyon days when the likes of Henry Kissinger won it.

    Fair enough. I would contend you would have to go back to the '50s to find legitimate winners in some categories. However, Kissinger's work at that time would be a far cry from Arafat, IMO.
