Nobel himself, was a well-meaning liberal of his time. He invented dynamite he claimed, to bring wars to a quick end.
Unfortunately, his technology only made war more efficient.
As with most liberals..whether it is something they or their immediate ancestors did or remote relations by race only did,
he suffered from "guilt pangs"..so he set up an endowment for a "peace prize"..
As with many foundations..Ford, Carnagie, Pulitzer etc..it has been taken over by hopeless liberals who, if they don't have
guilt pangs of their own, will search out some to try to "make amends" for...
Either that, or they make "political statements !
