Nobel Peace Prize

ugh. that was rough. i even read the list of past nobel peace prize winners and didn't submit my guess because it didn't seem to fit very well. belgium, sweden, and canada have kings or queens as heads of state, and just "politicians" included several countries not listed.

yes, i'm whining. :o)

Yeah, the extra lilttle fillip (not just Peace Prize winners, but Peace Prize-winning national leaders) was a little tricky, but I don't feel bad about the heads of state/heads of government thing. Intuitively, it would feel wrong to leave Canada off the list just because Lester Pearson won and not Queen Elizabeth II.
