Either you don't understand what the Nobel Peace Prize is, or you have no idea what the IAEA is.

and intelligence.

Elbaradei is intelligent. And a stickler for fact and truth. And his statements and the policies of the IAEA indicate all that. Hans Blix is intelligent. And a stickler for accuracy. And he loathes the partisan agenda that all sides try to load upon the UN's job. And he showed that.

But it has become a fact that facts do not matter to the neo-cons currently holding on to power in the United States. A prominent member of them has openly and rather arrogantly dismissed criticism of current foreign policy as "merely words". You keep observing and criticising, he "advised" liberal critics, while we change the world and soon we will have a new world for you to observe and criticise!

This kind of attitude used to be called "Hybris". Upon which the gods would frown and send thunder. We shall see how it plays out.

The first part of the article is interesting too:

[ QUOTE ]
The board of the International Atomic Energy Agency met today to decide whether to reappoint Mohamed ElBaradei to a third term as the head of the UN’s atomic watchdog agency. They had to postpone the decision: thirty-four out of the 35 IAEA board member countries support naming Mohamed ElBaradei to a third term. One, however, opposed: The United States wants to block his nomination.

Good international politics on behalf of Bush?
