臺灣的中央社16日專電稱：澳洲智庫「羅伊國際政策研究院」的研究員海恩瑞克斯（Raoul Heinrichs），於10月12日在官方部落格「翻譯者」（The Interpreter）撰文：「諾貝爾：被忽略的馬英九」（Nobel：Ma Ying-jeou Overlooked）（註1），表示“諾貝爾和平獎應屬馬英九”（註2）。此事一經披露，臺灣【統媒】與中國媒體立即大肆轉載。但是，筆者當下的直覺是：馬英九如獲頒和平獎，就似給婊子立貞節牌坊，讓石敬瑭入祀忠烈祠一樣！
   
   其實，我們不必去追究海恩瑞克斯的政治背景與動機；同時，也尊重各界以他們的政治色彩來詮釋此文。但是，筆者認為該作者的視角是：“著眼于奧巴馬的得獎之不適當，而非強調馬英九多麼值得去推薦成為諾貝爾和平獎的得主！”；其實，拿馬英九跟奧巴馬這位虛有其表、誇誇其言的政客相提並論，絕非是啥光彩之事，馬迷千萬別太高興；再說，曹長青先生也曾為文：“馬英九有望得諾貝爾和平獎”(原載《自由時報》2009年10月12日“曹長青專欄”)，其實他就是拿馬英九開涮。況且，希特勒也於1939年，曾被瑞典一個國會成員提名為諾貝爾和平獎候選人！所以，這種跡近羞辱的笑話不值得當回事；本質上，這文章與上個月馬英九被「mental_floss」雜誌列為【全球五大最具膽識領袖】的報導差不多。

   Nobel: Ma Ying-jeou overlooked
   by Raoul Heinrichs
   
   Like many people, I tend to think the decision to pre-emptively award President Obama the Nobel Peace prize was a very poor one. Not only is Obama undeserving, having failed thus far to secure any substantial foreign policy achievement, but the decision appears to have been motivated primarily by a desire to strait-jacket his policy choices and, more obviously, to bash the Bush Administration over the head once again for its own excesses.
   
   But if it was the Nobel Committee's intention to influence US policy in a more peaceful direction, I suspect it could have precisely the opposite effect, instead compounding Obama's sensitivity to his 'bleeding heart' image and reinforcing his determination to entrench his national security credentials, including by at least forging on, if not escalating, in Afghanistan.
   
   But if not Obama, then whom? To my mind, perhaps the most worthy candidate would have been Ma Ying-jeou, president of Taiwan. Since his election in March 2008, Ma has provided the impetus for the most rapid and wide-ranging rapprochement in cross-Strait relations in sixty years.
   
   Even as Taiwan's economic growth came to a grinding halt – it grew at 0.1% for most of 2008 – Ma has sustained broad public support for his approach to relations with the mainland, securing Beijing's tentative cooperation by deferring questions of independence and reunification, and facilitating agreements on, among other things, the establishment of direct charter flights, a diplomatic truce, and new bilateral investment guidelines – all the while conducting his diplomacy in a manner generally conducive to further improvement in relations.
   
   Yes, these were the easy steps; the most vexing issues remain unresolved. Nevertheless, as someone who has palpably reduced tensions and helped to mitigate the risks of major war, however modestly, Ma Ying-jeou would surely have made a more appropriate recipient.

   澳智庫專家：諾貝爾和平獎應屬馬英九
   
   （中央社記者陳明隆雪梨16日專電）澳洲著名智庫「羅伊國際政策研究院」日前在其官方部落格刊出的「諾貝爾：被忽略的馬英九」一文中，直指中華民國總統馬英九比美國總統歐巴馬更有資格領取諾貝爾和平獎。
   
   歐巴馬獲得本屆諾貝爾和平獎跌破不少政治觀察家的眼鏡，羅伊國際政策研究院（LowyInstitute forInternational Policy）的資深研究員海恩瑞克斯（Raoul Heinrichs）12日在官方部落格「翻譯者」（TheInterpreter）撰文表示認同。
   
   他在題名為「諾貝爾：被忽略的馬英九」（Nobel：Ma Ying-jeou Overlooked）的文章中指出，上任後積極改善兩岸互動，降低區域緊張情勢的馬英九比歐巴馬更有資格領取諾貝爾和平獎。
   
   海恩瑞克斯進一步表示，他同意許多人的看法，認為授予歐巴馬諾貝爾獎的決定過早且不智；他並強調「這個決定顯示其動機主要是希望能藉此約束歐巴馬的政策選擇，更明顯的動機是再度抨擊對布希政府毫無節制的作為」。
   
   海恩瑞克斯認為，如果諾貝爾獎委員會希望藉由頒發歐巴馬和平獎影響美國政策制定朝向和平之路，他懷疑這將造成反效果。
   
   海恩瑞克斯自問如果不是歐巴馬，誰才是本屆諾貝爾和平獎最適當人選？就他看來，另外一匹「馬」、馬英九正是最具價值的候選人，因為自從馬英九於2008年3月當選以來，立即快速推動並改善兩岸僵持60年的關係。
   
   同時，馬英九的許多政策，包括兩岸直航、外交休兵及新的互惠投資準則等都有助於雙方更進一步發展關係。
   
   海恩瑞克斯也坦言，兩岸間真正困擾的議題仍未解決，但無論如何，說起真正降低國際緊張情勢、減輕戰爭危機的風險，馬英九絕對要比歐巴馬更有資格受獎。
