World in "disarray," IAEA director says
By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School
This past weekend at the Munich Conference on Security Policy, IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei said the world was in "disarray." ElBaradei worries not only about extremists acquiring nuclear material or a weapon, but also that the case of Iran indicates a new trend of countries developing a nuclear capability — rather than a weapon — as an "insurance policy." ElBaradei rightly emphasized that the only way to prevent the regime from completely unraveling is to follow the advice of the Gang of Four and pursue the abolition of nuclear weapons.
