I did not know this. Should he have accepted the prize then?

  What would he have accomplished by not accepting it? Created a public statement on behalf of America of “nope, we don’t like peace, we’ll keep waging war!” There is absolutely nothing to gain by not accepting it. It seems like the desire by many Americans to have him decline is just because of personal opinions about him. Would you really respect the man more for tarnishing the name and brand of the entire United nation simply to not accept a symbolic price that you and he both think he did not deserve to receive? He did the right think by making clear his own understanding that he was perhaps not most deserving but accepting none the less.
