Jordan is thinking about pain & exclusion. So's the Vatican today. From Reuters:

"The decision not to give the Nobel Peace Prize to Pope John Paul has disappointed Vatican officials and Catholics, who felt the ailing pontiff deserved it and may not live to get another chance.

``The pope is sick exactly because of the pain that wars caused him so he should have won the Nobel Peace Prize,'' said Anna, an elderly Italian, after visiting the Vatican on Friday."
