Next Nobel Peace Prize: Muammar Gaddafi?
The Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said Thursday he will work again to mediate in the dispute between North Korea and other nations over the communist state’s nuclear arms ambitions, South Korean officials said.
Gaddafi made the remark in a meeting here with visiting South Korean Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook, her officials said.
“The Libyan leader also said he has made efforts to mediate in the dispute over the North Korea nuclear issue, but without a tangible result,” Han’s chief spokesman Kim Seok-hwan told reporters.
Libya ended decades of international isolation and sanctions after it denounced terrorism and agreed to dismantle its nuclear program in 2003. The United States normalized ties with the North African country three years later. Many experts agree Libya serves as a model for the policies North Korea should adopt.
I’m sure if Gaddafi agreed to give Kim Jong-il $186 million dollars he could sponsor a North-South summit and win a Nobel Peace Prize too. Then again the $186 million price is in year 2000 dollars so with inflation the actual going price for the Nobel Peace Prize may be more than $200 million now.
Don’t laugh terrorist Yassir Arafat won a Nobel Peace Prize too.
