Sea Change

Sixty years after Hiroshima, Mohamed ElBaradei has big ideas for changing the way the world handles the atom. The sweeping overhaul he envisions bringing uranium and plutonium technology under tougher, possibly international control would mean a "sea change" in the nuclear realm. But it's necessary, the U.N. nuclear chief says, "because we are facing a threat."

International control of the atom may frighten some countries [US], but at some point these threats become so vital to quash that some nuclear pride must be swallowed. Makes sense to me, bring the changing tides.
