So wait because your pet candidate didn't win it's a farce? Children's and girl's education rights are completely worthy of a prize.

Besides, Snowden is at odds with the US while Malala is at odds with the pakistani Taliban. Pakistan has about the same population as Japan, so it's important. Snowden was supposedly a strong candidate, but there are valid reasons not to choose him.
