Nobel Prize laureate running for president in Guatemala
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/...Presidency.php Winaq is a Mayan word signifying "the wholeness of the human being." Menchu, a Guatemalan Quiche Indian, would be the first woman and the first Indian ever to serve as president in this overwhelmingly Indian country. Bolivian President Evo Morales sparked talk of an Indian resurgence in Latin America after he become the first Indian to win the presidency of his country in 2005. Menchu won the Peace Prize in 1992 as a lifetime award "in recognition of her work for social justice and ethno-cultural reconciliation based on respect for the rights of indigenous peoples." On another news: Born-again killer Rios Montt plans run for Guatemalan Congress http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/635/1 Former Guatemalan dictator General Jose Efrain Rios Montt, who prosecuted a Reagan administration-supported war of genocide against the Mayan population, on January 17, 2007 announced that he plans to run for Congress in September. Same type of story everywhere.

Did anyone notice that in small, only third-world countries noble prize winers join politics and win elections and become presidents/prime ministers? In the developed world, it's more likely that someone becomes the president/prime minister/congressman....and then win the noble prize.
Interesting....

because in the developed world you have honest, capable people to run the country. noble laureates have the luxury of concentrating on what they do best.
