 nce
again, a tip of the hat to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. The
same wonderful people who awarded the coveted prize to Yasser Arafat,
Le Duc Tho, and other noted warlords, have now recognized the unique
contributions of U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan.
Sources close
to the Nobel Committee tell me that Annan was in fact a compromise
solution, the selectors having deadlocked between Osama bin Laden
and Saddam Hussein.
In the end,
Annan prevailed because of his tireless efforts in support of the
Durban Conference on racism, in which he demonstrated his great
diplomatic skills and his extraordinary understanding of the importance
of unstinting hatred of America and Israel in the pursuit of world
peace.
All of us join
in celebrating the selection, hoping that the war against terrorism
will not deprive the committee of a rich supply of suitable candidates
in future years.
