Mmm, for me, it resonates much more to give the prize to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank or someone like Hammarskjöld (though, giving a Peace Prize posthumously isn't really a guidance for the recipient as such. Of course, as a guidance for others...)
And yes, I think some sort of so-called apolitical level-headedness is a good guidance. I mean, of course we all have strong ideas about how we think life is and/or should be, but if we could all step away from the vitriol a wee bit...
And in reply to the comment on QoT's journal, well, erm, I wouldn't say that the Swedish Academy has been free from controversy. ;-)
