| Bosnian groups have nominated Malaysia’s former premier Mahathir Mohamad for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for helping the country after its bloody civil war, the Star newspaper reported on Sunday. It said that he was nominated by four civil groups in Bosnia spearheaded by former president Ejup Ganic. Mahathir was described in their nomination paper as the developing world’s “most courageous advocate,” the newspaper said. |

| #4 Amazing how the Nobel Peace Prize has become devalued. It's almost like a badge of dis-honor these days, considering some of the recent awardees. |

| #2 Toss your political rival in jail with a trumped-up conviction for homosexual behavior, win a Nobel Prize. I don't think this works for me. |
