Hashem Aghajeri

Iraniangirl notes the possibility that Hashem Aghajeri might win the Nobel Peace Prize. A prominent Iranian dissident is certainly a possibility, though I don't know my "Who's Who" of that situation well enough to pick one. As far as I do know, Ayatollah Montazeri might be another choice, since he was actually under house arrest all those years.

My candidate remains Pope John Paul II, an opinion shared by Anthony DeJesus. I have to ask, however, whether there are any worthy candidates in Congo? If things are really on a peace track there, that's something that should be recognized.
