You already answered your own question by calling him a liberal! It means he is more in touch with reality than Bush and the Neo-cons.
Putting aside political slurs, how come you didn't mention how he was head of the International Atomic Energy Agency for 16 years? That might qualify him for looking for UMD's, as well as indicate he is a pretty bright guy (to go along with the fact he was a lawyer, so might have some critical reasoning skills. Some might say that any dumbass can graduate from Cambridge with a PHD in law, but I wouldn't be one of them).
Lets set aside intelligence though. Even smart cookies like Blix can be wrong.
Why should we listen to him?
How about because he has been proven right? No WMDs, no nuclear program, and Bush using it as an excuse to take out Saddam has resulted in misery and death for an entire country.
Decended from nobility you say? Gosh, how can he justify choosing into what family he was born. Given honorary degrees? He should have turned them all down.
