nobel peace (?) prize
Of all to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, I would never have even considered President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Come on. Bush launched a war (not peace!) primarily to oust family enemy Saddam Hussein. And Blair, evidently against the wishes of his populace, spinelessly offered Britain's support. The UK was, surprise surprise, capable of dissent against the United States.
More — of a less biased view — from ABC: Bush, Blair nominated for Nobel Peace Prize,

It's the aughts for poo's sake. Peace and war are synonymous.
