Fulfills the criteria? Ha!!

Nobel set up the criteria as follows:

1. the award is given specifically for an action performed in the previous year,

or

2. for service to peace over an extended period.

If you believe he fits either of this criteria...........well uh.......there certainly is no constitutional amendment against ignorance.

  An action that does what?
  
  Let me tell you. From the Nobel Prize website:
  
  On 27 November 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last will and testament, giving the largest share of his fortune to a series of prizes, the Nobel Prizes. As described in Nobel's will, one part was dedicated to "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". [emphasis mine]

  Simply speaking about multilateral diplomacy and reducing nuclear weapons, as the Norwegian Nobel Committee has said, fullfills those criteria.
