I did a research study on a Nobel Prize recipient
His name is Mohamed ElBaradei and the company he works for is the International Atomic Energy Agency. His home country is Egypt he was born and raised there. He was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for efforts preventing nuclear use for war purposes. The work he does is in the field of arms control and disarmament and also he is in charge of legal and arms control issues. He is a diplomat. He has received the Four Freedoms Award, James Park Morton Interfaith Award, Golden Plate Award, and he is also a doctorate of Laws. I couldn't find what caused him to take action upon the issue. The issue is global though many countries are armed with nuclear weaponry. Mohamed ElBaradei he gave speeches and talked to the government in different countries about nuclear related bills or laws. He speaks in audiences and also uses T.V. to attempt to prevent nuclear weaponry. Mohamed Elbaradei does not inspire me he opposes governments having nuclear weapons but encouraging others to get rid of them. I can understand his point but we also have the right to protect ourselves, if we disarmed we would be invaded and taken over very quickly!
Some additional questions I had about Mohamed ElBaradei,
Does he side with the US? Yes and No he sometimes does but "he is not afraid to speak his opinion."
Does he agree with the Bush Administration? No
Is he against keeping Nuclear weapons for self defense? Yes, he thinks that that is a double standard and views it as hypocritical.
What is some of his history? He was the lead protester to Egyptian government.
Is he going to become a leader in Egypt? It is possible some think he may be the next Egyptian President.
