I really don't see what the point is to be honest. But how about this?
Gordon Brown honoured in New York as world statesman of the year
Quote:
Rock star Bono, Queen Rania of Jordan, and the Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak were among the audience as Kissinger praised Brown for his "vision and dedication" in handling the world economic crisis.
"His leadership has been essential to our ability to overcome the moment of danger," said Kissinger. The award has been previously been given to French president Nicolas Sarkozy and to German chancellor Angela Merkel.

Now I am sure that something will be made of the fact that the Israeli defence minister was there, but the award still holds some kudos on the world stage.
