The e-mail was as follows:
And this is true! The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving; it goes to those who want to push the agenda.

In May 2008, a 98 year-old Polish lady named Irena Sendler died.
During WWII, she got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist but she had an ulterior motive. She KNEW of the Nazi's plans for the Jews. Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and, in the back of her truck, she had a burlap sack for the larger children. She had a dog in the back of the truck that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the noise of the children. She managed to smuggle out and save 2,500 children before she was caught; the Nazis broke both her legs and her arms and beat her severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the children that she smuggled out which she kept in a glass jar buried under a tree in her back yard. After the War, she tried to locate any parents that had survived and reunited the families. Most, of course, had been gassed but she helped those children to be placed into foster family homes or adopted.
In 2007, Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize but was not selected. Al Gore won - for a slide show on Global Warming!

K@W:
The above article was sent to me via e-mail. The source is: CRN.WRO.NotesUsers@areva-td.com. Irena Sendler's motive to rescue the Jews from the clutches of the Nazi's was purely driven by emotion. However, the way in which she planed her moves to rescue them was done with reason. In this case, it is clear that the outcome of her doings were fruitful as both emotion and reason worked antagonistic to each other. Even though she did a good deed by saving the lives of the Jews, was it ethical for her to lie that she would work as a plumber in the ghetto, but actually smuggle people. In life and death situations morals and ethics are generally not thought about, in fact no future planning is made. Only the current step is thought about. If her emotions woulf have only dominated her, then it would be unethical to lie and smuggle Jews, as there would be logic or rational thought behind her motives. It is beacuse she used emotion only as a stimulus and worked with reason, her motives were ethical.
Even in dangerous situations, such as this, Art plays an important role. She had the skill to train the dog to bark when a Nazi was approaching. Without this talent of traning the dog, her plan would have been a failure as she would have been caught easily. Throught the article it is not mentioned that she used any weapons or arms to smuugle the Jews. The language used by Ms. Irena was non violent and in turn she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. During the war, she smuggled children without using the languae of warfare. Now, this also is an art. To control anger and violence and use the language of peace during warfare is a classic example of art and language are linked to each other.
The bias in this situation is that Irena Sendler should have won the Noble Peace Prize. She put her life in danger so as to help the Jews escape, in addition, after the war she reunited the children with thier respective parents and the ones who did not have parents, she arranged for them foster homes. However, she did not win the Peace Prize, which is unfair as her motive saved many lives. The most important reason for why she should have won the prize was beacause she used the language of peace during warfare and saved many Jews.
