My question is, do people actually care about the Nobel Peace Prize anymore? I was pretty sure that after Obama won it last year (pretty much just because he isn't George W.

I know that the Chinese are only protesting for political reasons, but since last year proved that the Nobel Peace Prize is just a political instrument, I can't say as I blame them.
