Hans Blix mentions his Team America counterpart
We’ve recently learned that Hans Blix mentioned his appearance in Team America in a recent speech on nonproliferation:

“States are not terribly impressed by international secretariats, I can tell you. You can run into resistance. What weapon does [an international organization] have? The weapon you have is that if you do not go along with this, I will report to the board. That is what you have. I heard there was a movie here in the US about Iraq and I feature as a character who tells Kim Jong Il that if you do not behave, I will report. And thereafter Kim says, ‘F**k you, Hans Blix, and chops off my head and it falls down into some poo-poo or other.’ I mean this is the way that I get known around the world…”

We’re glad to see that Hans has a sense of humor! To see a transcript of his entire speech, click here. And thanks to Brian at Arms Control Today for letting us know.
