Nuclear Proliferation
Once again North Korea has been experimenting with nuclear expansion but this time the nuclear device was used in a different way. Were all of North Korea’s nuclear weapons used as scare tactics or were they supposed to get the United States attention? It seems as though they have succeeded in accomplishing both of those goals. In recent times, North Korea has been experimenting with nuclear weapons. In 1993, North Korea had dropped out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and the following year they agreed to dismantle its weapons program to act in accordance with the treaty but in exchange they wanted help with building two nuclear- power plants. If North Korea wants nuclear- power plants wouldn’t that be arguing against the treaty? Technically yes, that is why in January of 2003 yet again North Korea had backed out of the treaty. These supposed scare tactics must be working seeing as President Bush and the Security Council are planning on blocking imports of nuclear and weapons technology. I’m sure blocking the imports will not stop North Korea; they will most likely find away around it. North Korea presumably does not want their title and power of being a nuclear country go to waste. Will the fact that North Korea is a nuclear power encourage other countries to join in? Will Iran be the next country to claim the nuclear power title? There is no doubt in my mind, I’m sure Iran will be the next to start developing nuclear activity. Then, Bush will call for stricter sanctions and the U.S. will most definitely be closer to declaring a nuclear war. Who knows, Bush and the Security Council are even thinking about declaring a nuclear war now. I do not believe the U.S. will go to war just yet, but if another country decides to become active in nuclear war technology, the U.S. will be forced to react.

"Pa. Amish community grieves, forgives"
Within this article an anonymous author writes how families of the five girls grieve their deaths. Since this is a recent publishment of the article, it is constantly being updated with new information. In Georgetown, Pa. the Amish travel to the funerals in horse- drawn buggies and dark suits and girls and women in long black dresses with black mourning bonnets. The Amish do not believe in the use of electricity. Frankly, they do not want anything to do with the modern world. I don't blame them for not wanting to deal with our world today. Our Modern world has evolved into such an industrial world that generations today do not even know the meaning of hardwork. The Amish believe in the art of a simple wooden coffin; narrow at the head and feet and wider in the middle. As the funeral services for the five girls begin, the Amish community forgives Charles Carl Roberts IV. He was a 32- year- old milk truck driver in the village of Nickel Mines who murdered 5 girls in a one - room schoolhouse on Monday, October 2nd. Seeing as, I am not Amish, I would have a very hard time forgiving Roberts. I'm sure it does not come easy to the Amish people but it shows how they are so forgiving when there is a traumatic events within their community. Although, the author shows no define point- of- view, their tone shows a feeling of sadness. Almost as if they too are feeling the pain and suffering of the Amish community. As the black buggies pass, people cried and mourned. Seeing a coffin go by in a buggie with a child's body is extremely sad. The Amish community is still grieving to this day.
