Well, Hans has formed think tank group called Weapons of Mass Destruction commission. He was on Democracy Now and talked about Iran, Iraq, and WMD.
But what troubled me about Hans is that, at the time he was the U.N. chief weapons inspector he never was an honest broker...I recall the last moments and last report he delivered to the UNSC when all of us were on our seats waiting to hear him deliver his findings on Saddam's WMD, he disappointed us...he used lawyerly talk, and never told anything of substance and allowed the US to carry out its death and destruction in Iraq.
Now he's talking to us about Iran, and how we need to talk about nuclear proliferation. He says;
"The American Rifle Association says that weapons are not dangerous in themselves, only the people who hold the weapons. And I can see a sort of echo on that in the view also of the nuclear weapons, that the nuclear weapons are not dangerous, per se, only dependent on who has them. Now the commission does not accept that argument. We say that, yes, governments, individuals can be more or less reckless in this world, but the weapons, per se, are dangerous anywhere, anytime."
My point is that this man should never have been hired as UN chief inspector to begin with....yet still out of the UN payroll, he's now hopping to be known as peacemaker. But allowing, or assuming this man appear as a peace maker is a crime against Iraqis who are paying the price of miscalculations of WMD.
*Excuse the rant.
