Nobels gets it Right, This Time

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Liu Xiaobo, the Chinese dissident. 

He is someone far more deserving than last year's winner.  He is imprisoned, for his beliefs, because he supports human rights and democracy in China.  And China is aggrieved at this award, threatening relations with Norway.

Good.  This is the kind of person to honor, someone who seeks to create a better world despite facing horrible sanctions.  He is a hero.
