Nuclear Proliferation
The Unites States and the rest of the nuclear club are facing a problem, a problem that determines the safety of the world, nuclear proliferation. Nuclear proliferation is the spread of nuclear weapons to other nations. It is a very critical issue because of the damage nuclear weapons can have on the world. Currently there are five declared nuclear nations including the US, Russia, The United Kingdom, France, China, India, and Pakistan. So, what is the best way to address the question of nuclear proliferation in the coming century? In this paper, I will state my views on the inevitability of nuclear proliferation and the views of others, and I will address what will become of the rising proliferation of nuclear technology. I believe that allowing nuclear weapons to spread will only endanger the world in the long run and that unless we act now, we will not be able to see another two thousand years of the human race. During the Second World War, the United States created the atomic bomb. The U.S. spent over $2 billion dollars in 1945 on the Manhattan project in fear that the Germans might succeed in creating a similar weapon. However, the German's did not seriously pursue the development of the nuclear weapons during Wo
At the dawn of the 21st century, there are more than six thousand nuclear weapons. Six thousand nuclear weapons is more than enough to destroy the earth over five times. "It is sad to think at a time of peace, we are still thinking of destroying someone, ourselves" (Abraham 31.) In the last month the Russian government month approved the SALT II program. This program will see the reduction of half of all Russian and US nuclear weapons. This is a "start," and if the human race wants to see another 2000 thousand years of its existence, we should not be hypocrites to life itself and we must rid ourselves of such ugly weapons now.

Four years after, the United States exploded the first atomic bomb in 1945 over Hiroshima, the Soviet Union tested their own, thus starting the Cold War. For about 50 years, the United States and Soviet Union lived on the verge of a third world war. However, that day never came, but the end of the Cold War brought a new threat, nuclear proliferation. This threat is serious and the world should look at eliminating nuclear weapons altogether.
