This prize is not as illustrious as many might believe. Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin were also nominees.

True, the prize itself has been utterly worthless since Carter, Arafat, and Gore won it. But the $1.4 million that goes with it could have helped a lot more people if it had gone to someone truly worthy, that would use it to help people. And that's a shame.
