Would you like to elaborate?

"Castro, on the other hand, was convinced that an invasion of Cuba was soon at hand, and on October 26, he sent a telegram to Khrushchev that appeared to call for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the USA." - Wikipedia, on the Cuban Missile Crisis

In the sense that, if they can give it to Henry Kissinger, the prize is therefore meaningless, and they might as well give it to Mugabe, or Castro, or Ríos Montt, or Reagan.
