According to a survey conducted between 1985 and 1995, there were fewer girls than boys in schools
world-wide. In the 51 countries with the most significant gap, 75 million fewer girls than boys were
enrolled in school. Afghanistan and Pakistan saw the greatest increases in the gap over the ten-year
period, in spite of the survey being conducted before the fundamentalist Islamic Taliban militia came
to power. On the other hand, a number of Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Saudi Arabia and
Lebanon, have made the biggest strides towards closing the education gap.

If the Nobel Peace Prize were awarded for actually securing peace, many of those who have received
it would have to give it back. For example, in 1994 Yasir Arafat, Yitsak Rabin, and Shimon Peres
received the prize jointly, though years later Palestinians and Israelis are still fighting. Mikhail
Gorbachev, who received the Prize in 1990, dissolved the Soviet Union, but left the Russian economy
in collapse and its people in chaos. One of the more notorious awards went to Henry Kissinger and
Le Duc Tho, who negotiated a cease-fire to end the Vietnam War. The war went on for two more
years, and Le Duc Tho, though not Kissinger, was honest enough to decline the award.
