that's not what the nobel Prize was meant for. and looking at some of the names from recent years, I have to say I would see it as an offending to be mentioned as a candidate for it, for there are names of brutal people, corrupt people, stupid people, with whom at no cost i would accept to sit at the same table.

I remember to have repeatedly thought "how can a man be so naive", after some comment of him was on TV or in the news again. So: no, I am not impressed by him, not at all. On the other hand, there are some much worse than him.
