FYI: Legitimate leaders do not command to shoot dead peaceful demonstrations.
Please provide a source or sources. I wasn't aware that Assad ordered anyone to shoot peaceful demonstrators.
But that's not really the issue. President Vladimir Putin used diplomacy - not violence - to stop the bombing of Syria. That's a peaceful solution to a serious issue and things like that should be rewarded - even if Putin isn't expecting any rewards.
Any other Syria-related issues should be discussed in a new thread.

Sorry. But I was only attempting to point out the discrepancy between the 2 decisions of the Peace Prize Committee because I still don't know why one President got the Prize and I don't understand why the other one didn't.
