I am saying Gorbi was a traitor. How can one`s ego and fame come before his country`s integrity. Is the Nobel prize greater than your country.Nobel prize for Gorbi was deserved. He was the key person for the liberation of former Warsaw pact countries in Eastern Europe. Late 80´s leaders of those countries were hard core old guard communists. Without approval from Gorbi, the independence movements would have never been successful. Of course he paid high prize two years later, when he was ousted and USSR collapsed. Gorbi is the man, man!
One of our army generals had noted that how some of our politicians had wanted to give away Siachen for "peace" and get awarded a Nobel prize. I can never support those thugs.

Political revelations: Manmohan's defence minister 'scuttled Siachen initiative' – The Express Tribune
Sources in the Government say the Prime Minister has endorsed the Siachen talks on demilitarisation. For him, they say, the world's highest battlefield-and a snow-capped symbol of Indian Army's enduring sacrifice-comes without the baggage of Jammu and Kashmir and forward movement (read demilitarisation) would mean creating the right atmosphere for talks derailed by the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Demilitarisation is his CBM (confidence building measure) offer to Pakistan. Cynics suggest that he, too, has become a victim of the Nobel Peace Prize syndrome, trapped by the desire of temporary personal applause at the cost of national interests. It is his ticket to history.
Fortunately he and his nefarious ploy never saw the light of the day.
What are the guarantees that Pakistan will not occupy the heights vacated by India?

Nobel prize is certainly the world`s greatest and most prestigious prize but all Nobel prize winners are not men of great stature or integrity. Traitors of any kind,even Nobel prize winners, should not be given respect. Now comes the question or rather my theory that Gorbi was a traitor for the USSR and a hero for the Ukrainians. He was a man with Ukrainian roots and certainly he would have loved to see an independent Ukraine. So he broke up the USSR. I think it's too hard to judge him. You can call him a traitor or the greatest patriot ever. After all an independent Ukraine meant he could no longer remain the supremo of USSR
P.S. I like that USSR broke up.
