The following is an excerpt from a news article originally published by the Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria - Mohamed ElBaradei and his International Atomic Energy agency won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, leaving the chief U.N. nuclear inspector strengthened in a job he nearly lost because of a dispute with the United States over Iran and Iraq.
ElBaradei suggested winning the world's most prestigious award vindicated his methods and goals — using diplomacy rather than confrontation and defusing tensions in multilateral negotiations that strive for consensus.
As people read this and applaud ElBaradei for his award, I'd like to humbly remind the world that Yassir Arafat also won the Nobel Prize.
