ElBaradei Wins Nobel Peace Prize
The International Atomic Energy Agency and its Egyptian chief Mohamed ElBaradei won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
ElBaradei, 63, has headed the U.N. nuclear agency as it grappled with the crisis in Iraq and the ongoing efforts to prevent North Korea and Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
“Everyone who has contributed to the IAEA has a part in this important prize,†the Nobel committee chairman Ole Danbolt Mjoes said in announcing the prize.
Joe Grossberg however, points out the failures that have happened under ElBaradei‘s watch. There are several, and it does make you wonder why he was awarded the prize, over such luminaries as Bono.
