On the contrary, Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy applauded the award and so with Archbishop Desmund Tutu (Past laureates) of South Africa.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown also joined the happy "fellas" who have sent privately their congratulatory messages to the US Chief Executive.
