Additional quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei

Consider also our approach to the sanctity and value of human life. In the aftermath of the September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, we all grieved deeply, and expressed outrage at this heinous crime — and rightly so.

We seem to agree today that we can share modern technology, but we still refuse to acknowledge that our values — at their very core — are shared values.
