The New York Post has a story on Hans Blix and his appointment. (Link from the Corner.) To sum up:
"The fact that Blix was picked was indicative of what has been the fundamental problem - Russia, France and China have wanted to take a soft stand on Saddam Hussein," said Columbia University professor Edward Luck, who heads the Center for International Organization.
He's actually been less useless than I had expected, which tells you something about my expectations. Even if he were tougher, though, inspectors who aren't getting cooperation from the Iraqi government can't possibly reverse Iraqi weapons development -- they can, at best, slow it down a little.
