If Hans Blix had known about Saddam's environmental crimes he might have been less forgiving. After all, Blix thinks that global warming is a more serious threat than those WMD he was supposed to be finding and destroying.

Another name will be added to the language, along with boycott, ponzie, quisling and bork. Blix: to do one's job reluctantly and apologetically. Chirac might also become a term, but the French have so many examples of arrogance it seems superfluous to add another. Perhaps chirac will become a name for using international diplomacy to cover one's personal corruption. Considering his willingness to trade with Saddam in disregard for international sanctions, to furnish a dangerous madman with nuclear technology and to ignore his viciousness to his own people, I would not be surprised to learn that he has personally enriched himself with kickbacks and hush money from the Butcher of Baghdad.
