The Company He Keeps -- By: Mona Charen

Here is a list of Nobel Peace Prize winners since 1980. There are some worthy recipients -- Lech Walesa, Shirin Ebadi, Mohammed Yunus. But most Nobel Peace Peace prizes go to conventional leftwing types popular with European elites -- Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev.
