Sad to say, but I think they should have given the prize to Japan's Article 9.
Malala is a heroic distraction. Pakistan will not change a jot from her getting the prize.
But had Article 9 won, Japan's vain, insecure Prime Minister might have been prevented from fucking with Japan's pacifistic constitution. Goodbye to all that.
Do you remember what happened to Tibet? Tibet had no army, Chinese took it over in 1959. Tibetans made a big mistake for not applying for UN memebership. Japan is right to bulid up its army - otherwise Chinese will do Tibet on them. But I agree, nothing will change in Pakistan for a very long time.
