Does anybody know why the EU won the Nobel Peace Prize?
Yeah, why not... Economical crisis, EU countires in debt, bankrupt lands, rising xenophobia and conservatism... Perhaps it's a desperate action to recover the lost glory of the EU.

They didn't award it to themselves. MI ;)

It does not matter if they give the prize to themselves or not. My point is that it is given to the EU right at "this moment", when the EU is deep in crisis.

".. For believers in the European dream, however, announcement of the prize came as a welcome morale boost in difficult times, which Jagland made clear was exactly what the Nobel Committee intended." http://www.freep.com/article...

Nobel Peace Prize for the EU is a tremendous joke, but the joke is on us, and the laughter dies in the throat.
