If the Nobel Peace Prize were awarded for actually 
securing peace, many of those who have received it 
would have to give it back. For example, in 1994 
Yasir Arafat, Yitsak Rabin, and Shimon Peres 
received the prize jointly, though years later 
Palestinians and Israelis are still fighting. Mikhail 
Gorbachev, who received the Prize in 1990, dissolved 
the Soviet Union, but left the Russian economy in 
collapse and its people in chaos. One of the more 
notorious awards went to Henry Kissinger and Le 
Duc Tho, who negotiated a cease-fire to end the 
Vietnam War. The war went on for two more years, 
and Le Duc Tho, though not Kissinger, was honest 
enough to decline the award.
