NobEl Baradei

In case you haven't heard, Mohamed ElBaradei has won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize, along with the IAEA, for their tireless work to prevent nuclear proliferation. In the interest of intellectual honesty, I would like to take this opportunity to list the following nations...

  • Iran
  • North Korea
  • Pakistan
  • India

    ... that have gone nuclear since Mohamed ElBaradei has been in office. Furthermore, under ElBaradai's watch, A.Q. Khan of Pakistan farmed out nuclear technology and equipment to various rogue states. Also, if it weren't for the very invasion of Iraq that ElBaradei is praised for having opposed, these nations...

  • Iraq
  • Libya

    ... among others, would still be working on clandestine nuclear programs of their own.

    Given Jimmy Carter's win a few years ago for his instrumental role in the treaty that didn't do shit to stop North Korea's nuclear program, and the fact that last year's winner used her acceptance speech to claim that AIDS is a white conspiracy against blacks, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Nobel Peace Prize should be renamed the "Nobel Prize for Complete and Total Failure".

    Then again, that's just me.
