I disagree, though not entirely.
I do think that it's a pretty frivolous nomination, given the history of the Peace Prize.
That said, I think the nomination reflects a major change we're living through: where change, revolution, and the peace that will hopefully come (as ousting Ahmadinejad will remove a violent, seemingly war-bent leader) are dictated by a self-organizing community, not a common voice speaking through an individual.
If the latter view becomes more prevalent over the coming years, who better to give the Peace Prize to than those who make self-organization possible and "sticky"?
What's ridiculous today can easily become tomorrow's future (a PC in every home? Don't get me started...).
