U.S. President Barack Obama is humbled by his Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded to him by the Norwegian Nobel committee "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between people."
Past winners of the Nobel Peace Prize include:
- Anwar el-Sadat (1978), who started the Yom Kippur War
- Yasser Arafat (1994), Palestinian terrorist
- Jimmy Carter (2002), for failing to find a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict
- Al Gore (2007), for environmentalism having nothing to do with peace
Ransom shares his No-Bel with the following:
- Mahatma Gandhi, seminal non-violent leader of the Indian independence movement
- Pope John Paul II, pacifist and anti-Communist
- Corazon Aquino, who restored democracy to the Philippines
- Vaclav Havel, Czech post-Communist democratic reformer
