I worry about a democracy having nuclear weapons as much as a dictatorship having nuclear weapons.
Mohamed ElBaradei
If we are addressing the issue of weapons of mass destruction, we need to send a uniform, consistent message that there is zero tolerance to any country who is developing weapons of mass destruction, North Korea included.
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
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
We still live in a world where if you have nuclear weapons, you are buying power you are buying insurance against attack.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The gravest threat faced by the world is of an extremist group getting hold of nuclear weapons or materials.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I grew up in a conservative household. That was the life of the time in Egypt: a conservative, middle-class household.
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
Iran has the technology to produce the highly enriched uranium, which is not automatically meaning nuclear weapon.
