This year is the 50th Anniversary of the creation of the Peace Corps, a group that has done more to spread American goodwill than all the military "police actions" combined, and at a 10th of the cost.
In honor of the moment, and to salute the achievement, 138 Congressmen, more than a quarter of the House of Representatives, have nominated the Peace Corps for a Nobel Peace Prize.
The GOP has also decided to honor the achievements of the Peace Corps in their own special way - by cutting the budget of the Peace Corps.
