North Korea aren't the only one's posing a threat

This article discusses how a reported 40 other countries are working on nuclear bombs and substances to make bombs. The title of the article is "Restraints Fray as Nuclear Age Grows Globally," which I think is a vivid interpretation of this time frame and the new technology we are construing for war and destruction. It's a little frightening that countries in South America, Africa, and Australia are all taking part in this and learning the methods for nuclear arms creations.

Kofi Annan, the United Nations secretary general, said this year that “the international community seems almost to be sleepwalking” down a path where states, after long living without nuclear arms, now feel compelled to revisit their logic.

It's very curious as to why this phenomenon has come back and countries are interested in possessing nuclear arms.
