North Korea's nuclear program.

In October 2006, North Korea became the world's eighth atomic power, conducting an underground nuclear weapons test. Although the country's nuclear program and its development of  its systems has outraged world opinion, it is still not clear whether the country holds the ability to deliver a working nuclear weapon. The dictatorship's dream of a nuclear arsenal dates back half a century, the years just after the Korean War. Kim Il-sung, North Korea's founder, was aware that General Douglas MacArthur had requested nuclear weapons to use against his country during the conflict, and showed that he pressed his cold war allies,first Russia, then China for nuclear technology. But it took decades to put together the equipment, and it appears that only recently did the North make a political decision to speed forward.
I believe that North's nuclear weapon must be eliminated in order to develop as a country through having a communication with other major countries like United States.
