Re: Obama Snubs the King!
Saudi? I only hear of emperor of Japan.
By the Scandinavian view (and on this Finland practically agrees) this is the greatest honor person can recieve. It kind of goes with the job that you're expected to go through the ceremonies, no matter president of what country you are (unless you're in prison for the reasons of getting the prize).
Besides they had to spend a good deal of money for extra security, he owed at least a full show for that.
As for the king in particular that's just Norwegians, most of Europe hardly noticed.
More of us are one way or other annoyed that he got the prize at all.

Re: Obama Snubs the King!
It's really cool how they have the text wrapping around the '5' in the flash ad. I wonder how they did that...
Sorry, carry on.
