Nuclear Proliferation in North Korea

Because of recent weeks' events, there is no reason why anyone in the world shouldn't know about North Korea's testing of their first nuclear warhead. I have many different thoughts on this issue. Firstly, I feel like I should be slightly afraid. North Korea isn't that friendly to the United States, and they might have ideas to use their fledgeling nuclear program for terrorism. This makes me want to put all of my efforts into writing to our local government officials and urging them to do whatever they can to stop the North Korean nuclear growth.But then again, another part of me wants to congratulate the scientists that made this possible. There are many brilliant minds in many countries other than our own. Shouldn't they also have the right to claim the honor of such a great scientific achievement. I don't like that the country may use it for war purposes, but you have to give them props.Why should the US have any right to tell North Korea to destroy their nuclear program when the US has nuclear capabilities of their own. We do not have the right to be the world's policeman. Each country should be working to further their technological advances equally. What they choose to do with their new technology is their own prerogative. Hopefully, they choose to do good instead of evil. That is up to the prayers and faith of good people who wish to see a progressive world instead of one filled with destruction and the apocalypse.
