Once again, the Nobel Prize board has covered itself in fail.
Snatching the hopes of the odds-on frontrunner out of her 16-year-old-Taliban-defying jaws, the Nobel organisation has decided to issue the award to a small, little-known anti-Chemical weapons institution. In a year where chemical weapons were repeatedly used.
Now, Malala hasn't actually achieved anything, aside from taking a bullet to the head without dying. Nor has the anti-Chemical weapons body. The role of the Nobel Prize has widely accepted as an encouragement, not as a serious merit-based recognition of achievement (though sometimes that, too). It's more than a bit heartless (and stupid) for Norway to act in this manner.
