I think they should be willing to not award a Nobel Peace Prize if they can't find someone who unambiguously deserves it.

I was disgusted when Aung received it an just gobsmaked when Obama got it.

The whole repressed Muslim minority story was at a low burn when she was awarded but her sentiments were on the record. I wonder how close the awards committee really looks at their candidates? How much time is spent in debate and how diverse the committee is?
