Who, Geir? He most certainly is not- I have met the man several times and I assure you he's very intelligent and straightforward with his ideas. If anyone is a "fraud" here, it's that interviewer.
Yes, Geir is a fraud. He is a pompous socialist ass...Giving the Nobel Prize to a con-man who crawled out of the bloody warzone of American ghettos, having done nothing to stop black-on-black crime, is nothing short of fraudulent.
Oh, I see what your problem is. The Obama thing. I'll be honest with you, I don't agree with giving the Prize to Obama, but that doesn't justify calling Geir Lundestad a fraud. And he didn't decide by himself to award the prize to Obama, he nominated him and the Committee agreed.
Geir put political ideology and propaganda above principle and merit...If that isn't fundamentally fraudulent I don't know what is...If you want to be respected for character and integrity you don't give away a Peace Prize for nothing other than a dogma Geir wants to promote.
Well, English is of course very important. But I think it is an illusion to think that the international debates in English are also automatically universal. In my experience, these debates are dominated (naturally) by Anglo-Saxon concerns. What is important to an American is not always important to a German - and why should a German write in English then? The value of expressing yourself in your native language is sadly underestimated today.

What year is this from? Geir's put on some weight since then. He's a very funny man.
