Hans Blix: Right Again

Hans Blix must be getting tired of being right all the time.

He was right about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

Now he's right about George W. Bush's reckless damaging of the Nuclear Non-prolifteration Treaty.

It has always seemed to me that nuclear weapons are of greatest value to terrorists, moderate value to a country which is militarily weak relative to potential enemies (North Korea, Israel) and of least value to a great power which has overwhelming superiority in conventional weapons over any possible enemy or combination of enemies.

That being the case, the U.S. government ought to be, and stay, at the vanguard of nuclear disarmament. Am I missing something?

I'm getting tired of Hans Blix being right all the time, but I can live with it. I'm not so sure about George W. Bush's being wrong all the time.

(Note: If your answer was going to involve the phrase "mass graves", please don't bother.)
