> One has ordered his forces into battle more times than any other postwar
> British leader. The other threatens military action against "evil" nations

> Now, Tony Blair and George Bush have received international recognition
for
> their unswerving willingness to use force: a nomination for the 2002 Nobel
> peace prize.
>
> The prime minister and US president have been jointly nominated for the
> accolade by a rightwing Norwegian politician who believes their military
> campaign against terrorism meets Alfred Nobel's criteria that the winner
> "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations,
> for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and
> promotion of peace congresses".

> Harald Tom Nesvik, who represents the Party of Progress in the Norwegian
> parliament, said yesterday: "The background for my nomination is their
> decisive action against terrorism, something I believe in the future will
be
> the greatest threat to peace. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to use
force
> to secure peace."

> Mr Nesvik has nomination rights as a member of a national legislature.

> The committee keeps the names of nominees secret for 50 years, but those

nominees

> There are signs that Mr Blair and Mr Bush are up against tough competition

> Other unconfirmed September 11-related nominations are believed to include

engineer

> The winner will be announced in October.

> Mr Blair's nomination appears to have brought little cheer to Downing
