More quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei
I think one country with nuclear weapons is one country too many.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Iran has the technology to produce the highly enriched uranium, which is not automatically meaning nuclear weapon.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The Egyptians have grown in confidence, theyve tasted freedom, and theres no way back.
Mohamed ElBaradei
People talk about smart sanctions and crippling sanctions. Ive never seen smart sanctions, and crippling sanctions cripple everyone, including innocent civilians, and make the government more popular.
Mohamed ElBaradei
You cannot apply your high standards to a country [Egypt] burdened with decades of autocratic rule. Our democracy is still in its infancy.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I worry about a democracy having nuclear weapons as much as a dictatorship having nuclear weapons.
Mohamed ElBaradei
It would be, in fact, very ominous if Iraq were to be able to get weapon-usable material, hydro-plutonium or highly enriched uranium from abroad.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Libya is a good example of a country that has come to a realization that weapons of mass destruction threaten more than assure, and I hope that will be followed by others.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Whether we report Iran to the council or not, I believe the only way forward is through diplomacy.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I still believe that any country understands that if they use nuclear weapons, they will be wiped out of existence. They could be irrational in many ways, but I don't think they're irrational to the point that they're ready to annihilate their own country.
Mohamed ElBaradei
We still have time to negotiate, we still have time for diplomacy, because there are still a number of issues that have not been clarified, that created a lack of confidence.
Mohamed ElBaradei
In my view, stability only comes with a government that is elected by the people and works for the people.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Nuclear proliferation is on the rise. Equipment, material and training were once largely inaccessible. Today, however, there is a sophisticated worldwide network that can deliver systems for producing material usable in weapons.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The sooner we put Egypt on the right track, the sooner we would be able to have an Egypt that is modern, that is moderate, and that is acting as a beacon for freedom and liberty across the Arab world.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The gravest threat faced by the world is of an extremist group getting hold of nuclear weapons or materials.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Whether weapons exist in Iraq, Saddam Hussein or post-Saddam Hussein, it is a serious enough issue that require that we continue to go and make sure that Iraq does not have weapons.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Egypt is indeed deeply divided. Without reconciliation we have no future. The Muslim Brotherhood is an important part of our society. I very much hope that it will participate in the next round of talks. I will be the first to protest if the imperative of fairness isn't adhered to.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I have a lot of interests in global issues, as you know, humanity, inequity, arms control, and I continue to be active on all these issues.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Challenging the integrity of the non-proliferation regime is a matter which can affect international peace and security.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I grew up in a conservative household. That was the life of the time in Egypt: a conservative, middle-class household.
