Hans Blix, Diplomat and Inspector
'A dangerous and unpredictable U.S.'
KEN MACQUEEN
      Hans Blix is still searching. Today, the veteran Swedish
      diplomat and former UN chief weapons inspector in Iraq chairs a
      panel trying to stop the proliferation of terrorism and tools of
      mass murder. The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission met
      recently in Vancouver to work on a report for the UN that will
      stress the need for major powers to sign weapons bans and permit
      inspections. Blix sees Iraq as an example of the grave errors
      that can result from a lack of monitors. His team concluded
      Saddam Hussein didn't have a viable weapons program; U.S. and
      Britain invaded anyway based on "spin and mirage."
* What do you make of the re-election of a U.S. president who went to
war based on a false premise about WMDs?
The administration would be misinterpreting the results if they felt
it was an authorization to use force against Iran or North Korea. And
the election had many other features: gay marriage, conservative
values. For a European, this is like another planet.
* What's your read on the political appetite for measures to curb the
spread of weapons?
Since the mid-'90s, disarmament efforts have come to a standstill.
There seems to be a dogmatic attitude in Washington against treaty
obligations and international verification. That is puzzling. In Iraq,
professional inspection came close to the truth. Intelligence agencies
went wildly wrong.
* What role can a modest power like Canada play in lowering the
temperature of confrontation?
I landed this morning at the Lester Pearson airport in Toronto. He was
a great statesman at the UN, and you've had many others. You also are
close to the Americans and you understand them -- we think. We hope.
When you're a small country, you see the value of a rule-based
international society. The U.S. sees things differently. Lately, they
seem so taken with the enormity of their power, they think they can
act alone. After Iraq, I think they realize there are limits. The UN,
much of the administration feels, is a sort of talk shop up in New
York. They feel contempt for it. But they underestimated the
importance of UN support.
* Will the Iraq action deter countries that in fact do have nuclear or
biological weapons?
A dangerous and unpredictable U.S., one prone to pre-emptive strikes,
may have some impact, but I don't think it will be major.
* What would have a major impact?
If the U.S. were to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty on
nuclear weapons, I'm fairly convinced China would do the same. If
China does it, India will do it. If India does it, Pakistan will. If
Pakistan does, I think Iran will. We'd have a beneficial domino effect.
* What do you think of Bush personally?
I only met him once. I did not have an impression of a dogmatic
theoretician but a pragmatic person with astute political sense.
* And of Saddam?
Inspectors he tended to regard as creepy-crawlies on the floor.
* The U.S. sees the world as safer without him.
I agree the world is a better place without a brutal dictator -- but
safer? The Iraq action has stimulated strong Muslim feelings that have
been breeding terrorists.
* So the war is creating a new terrorism wave?
Indeed. I think that's clear.

 Indeed. I think that's clear.
E se lo dice lui... :)

Ecco cosadiceva  Scott Ritter, l'ispettore ONU
Ex ispettore ONU cacciato via a calci nel culo :)

 may have some impact, but I don't think it will be major.
USA pericolosi ed imprevedibili, che potrebbero avere un impatto
deterrente sulle nazioni che di fatto hanno armi biologiche e nucleari.
Ah, l'antica tecnica di tagliare ad arte i titoli..

Ma di che cavolo stai parlando?
Ironizzi sul fatto che gli USA siano una potenza pericolosa e 
imprevedibile? Oppure sul fatto che, anche essendo tali, non abbiano un 
impatto deterrente sulle nazioni che di fatto hanno armi biologiche e 
nucleari? Oppure stai ridendo della fesseria di Blix, che compendia 
entrambi i punti?
Am.

USA pericolosi ed imprevedibili,
Nemmeno.  Manca l'articolo. Il testo e':
"UN pericoloso e imprevedebile US, UNO (stato) propenso ...... POTREBBE
AVERE ....."
Non ha affermato che gli USA attuali siano tali.

No, sto dicendo che anche Blix ha affermato che gli USA, nonostante li
ritenga pericolosi ed imprevedibili, hanno un effetto deterente, anche il
"maggiore" effetto deterrente, sulle nazioni che di fatto hanno armi
biologiche e nucleari.

Ti comunico che 'deterrente' significa impedire una guerra. Gli USA 
adesso sono ansiosetti di farne un altra, dopo l'Irak.

Abbiamo sentito la stronzata del giorno :)

Gli USA, allo stato attuale delle cose, vogliono tutto tranne che una
guerra. E questo per altri 6 mesi almeno.
Quanto al "deterrente", significa scoraggiare un'aggressione, o
genericamente dissuadere qualcuno dal compiere un'azione, non impedire una
guerra.

Sei cosi addentro alle intenzioni amerikane, che ti dedico una vignetta 
hardcore... :)

In attesa che questi sei mesacci passino presto...

 E questo per altri 6 mesi almeno.
"6 mesi"? Questo mi tranquillizza davvero...
Namib

Ne stanno conducendo una, qualora ti fosse sfuggito.
E dove? Nel mondo della tua fantasia? :)
*LOL*
-Stefano

 hardcore... :)
Non si tratta di essere addentro alle intenzioni americane, ma
semplicemente di informarsi un pochino sul reale stato delle sue forze,
sui cicli di addestramento, sui cicli di rotazione, e di fare 2+2.
