Let me repeat: the prize should never have been given to Obama in first place, this is just doing the right thing anyway, not because he asked. And remove Kissinger’s and Aung San Suu Kyi too.
Getting Arafat, Rabin and Peres to agree on something was well worth the prize…but I agree that starting to remove them would be opening a can of worms. It was just an attempt to reclaim some legitimacy for the prize, particularly if you work against the award after getting it.
Appeasing narcissists doesn’t make them suddenly care about others. If anything, it reinforces their behavior.

Yasser Arafat too?
