ElBaradei accepts Nobel Peace Prize.
Remember when bush wanted him fired because he refused to lie about Saddam and nukes? This is a real slap in the face to the bush junta.

Here's the CNN story on ElBaradei accepting his award.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/12/10/nobel.peace.prize.ap/index.html

OSLO, Norway (AP) -- Nuclear watchdog agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei warned Saturday in accepting the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize that humanity faces a choice between nuclear weapons and survival.

ElBaradei shared the coveted award with his International Atomic Energy Agency -- cited for their drive to control the spread of nuclear weapons, especially to terrorists.

"If we hope to escape self-destruction, then I believe nuclear weapons should have no place in our collective conscience, and no role in our security," ElBaradei said in his acceptance speech.

"The hard part is: How do we create an environment in which all of us would look at nuclear weapons the way we look at slavery or genocide, as a taboo and a historical anomaly?" he said in thanking the Nobel committee for the honor.

4. their prize in Literature seemed to do the same thing.
The only way we can rehabilitate our name is to turn bush and his junta over to the world court, then work to undo the damage we have done under their regime.
