We're Heading For Nuclear Destruction???

One more quickie before I head out the door for work.

World May Be Headed for Nuclear Destruction-ElBaradei

Gee, isn't it supposed to be a part of his job to help staunch the proliferation of nuclear weapons? He's out there complaining about proliferation, but what are his solutions? Make it "impossible" to withdraw from NPT? Strengthen inspections and export controls?

Doesn't he realize that anyone serious about building a Bomb is going to laugh at these proposals? It's kind of like throwing a single bucket of water on a burning skyscraper.

Maybe I would feel better if he were suggesting inspections enforced by the threat of force. Maybe I would feel better if he were suggesting to involuntary elimination of suspected nuclear proliferation sites. Maybe I would feel better if his organization had any kind of track record worth feeling better about.

I fear that Dr. El Baradei's prophecy is accurate, but that he is absolutely the wrong person to try to change it.
