#1 ElBaradei, the outgoing director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),
Woo hoo! When does he go?
Which Muslim will replace him and run the agency with as much integrity?

#2 He keeps letting Iran off the hook! I remember him saying he didn't think Iran was seeking military nuke power. Worst person for the job, no Idea why GW didn't protest his reappointment.

#3 Whoever replaced him would have been equally carefully not achieved the official job description, Omique Gonque4915. The current situation is simply a legacy of Euro-American colonialism, you see, and like colonialism should be reversed as soon as possible.

#4 Only deep strategic cuts, coupled with internationally agreed bans on nuclear tests and on the production of weapons-grade fissile material, could restore the world's faith in arms control,

Cutting down to a Chinese size arsenal would be utterly foolish. Do you really want a world where the Chinese have the same number of weapons as the US and Russia? A world where Pakistan has an arsenal 1/4 the size of the US?

What next? Cut the Navy down?

#5 John, they believe in Peace Through Superior Firepower. Just not US firepower, since the mean old US would use it for Imperialist purposes.

#6 ~~The number of potential nuclear weapons states could more than double in a few years unless the major powers take radical steps towards disarmament~~, I have failed utterly, the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog has warned.

There, that's better.
