One thing I heard recently that was trying to explain it was saying that it was yet another bit of Bush-bashing by the Nobel committee... they gave Carter and Gore Nobel prizes while Bush was in office, so here's their third insult towards one of America's worse presidents.
Put that way, I can understand it... though yes, he really hasn't done enough yet to deserve this, I think. Maybe in a few years, if things go well... but as is, not really. Oh well, Nobel prizes are just voted on by some Norwegians, it's not like it's an open process or anything, so ignore it if you wish. :) (But I do like the Bush-bashing explanation... :))
