The South African delegate is Muslim too? There sure are a lot of Muslims on the IAEA. In any case, it’s good that El Baradei is gone, he was a very good Muslim in his efforts to hide, obscure, and lie about nuclear weapons proliferation in the Muslim sphere.

First, Japan is going to be a very important ally in the coming struggle against the Islamic Axis. So far as I know they’re still likely to be among the last nations to fall to the disciples of Muhammad, which makes them more important than most of them probably realize.

Second, the Japanese are the only people with firsthand experience of how terrible nuclear weapons are. In this sense, Mr. Amano is probably one of the best possible people to be in this position. Given the currently emerging situations in Iran and Pakistan, chances are reasonably good that Amano will be considerably less of a pushover than ElBaradei in dealing with the Middle East.

On the other hand, quite a lot of Japanese are, unfortunately, stuck on a sort of nuclear Chewbacca argument:

Q: Weren’t the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki utterly terrible?
A: Yes they were.
Q: Then how can any civilized nation keep a nuclear arsenal in good conscience?

The answer to that is, of course, any nation that would honor a nuclear disarmament treaty should be disarmed last after rogue leaders like Kimmy and Amadmanonjihad, who are tricksy and false. But typically they don’t get to that part.

A Japanese Technocrat is orders of magnitude better than an Egyptian Muslim. Japan is our ally, in the real sense that Egypt is not. This is a victory for the forces of non-proliferation and a defeat for the nuclear black market enablers.

Ed Waage On Mr. Amano.

“…
The choice is good news for the United States and the European countries since Minty would probably have governed in a manner similar to ElBaradei in dealings with Iran. Amano is a technocrat who will likely be more aggressive in carrying out the inspection requirements of the Non-Proliferation Treaty on nuclear weapons.

The Bush administration was dissatisfied with ElBaradei because of his failure to take a stronger stance against Iran as it pursued its uranium enrichment program.When ElBaradei sought re-election in 2005, the United States initially opposed ElBaradei, but there was no other viable candidate and ElBaradei was re-elected.

The IAEA is supposed to be a technical agency which provides reports to the UN Security Council at its request, yet ElBaradei often engaged in diplomatic maneuvers with Iran which have ultimately failed to have any impact on slowing the Iranian efforts to develop a nuclear weapons capability.

Amano had the support of the developed nations while Minty was supported by the developing nations. The member states of the IAEA still have to ratify the selection later in the year, but that vote is normally just a rubber stamp. ElBaradei’s term ends on November 30, 2009.”
