As seen on TV
Aside from his 'cameo' in Team America: World Police, Blix is best known for two things:
- His work as Director General of the IAEA during the Chernobyl disaster
- Being the inspector who was sent to Iraq and found that they didn't have weapons of mass destruction after all.
Many in the US scorned him for the latter point, assuming him to be incompetent. And if Dubya, Cheney and Blair actually listened to him,[2] maybe they'd be able to leave their respective countries without the almost-constant call for being tried as war criminals.[3]
Blix has since been appointed the head of the United Arab Emirates nuclear program.
