*Nuclear World: The Culmination Of Mortal Desires

By Ikechukwu Enyiagu (ike.enyiagu@gmail.com)

The world, as we have it today, was once a village, and, through evolution, we have been able to transform it into a near-global village-thanks to science and technology. Since science began leading the way, man has sought for ways to be bi-locational-even literally; being able to “eat one’s cake and have it.” Behind this longing lies two insatiable desires: the desire for freedom and the desire for security. These desires make good case in the long-listed UN charter on human rights. And so, the desire for freedom, subsequently, has narrowed down to include freedom to subvert natural establishment-sprouting homosexuality, incest and zooerasty. The desire for security has equally degenerated to mean an increased number of war casualties, deserts, and nuclear proliferation.

The obvious truth we have all failed to see over the centuries is that freedom and security live on either side of the same coin; either can only reign at one given time. You either choose to be free or you choose to be secure. This truth, of course, can easily be bought from countries that have been at war for a long time now. War leaves no one secure or free; it leaves you alert and compliant at all times. Compliance is an enemy to freedom just as security is the unsureness of freedom. ( Continues below..... )

The desire for security led us through the devil’s path-leading us astray. This desire informs itself in nations’ security budgetary allocations, military “reserves” and, subsequently, nuclear proliferation. We have believed, over the years, that the way to live free and secure is to annihilate our “enemies.” We have also learned from experience that such beliefs have not only been based on false calculations, but have ended up making us less free and less secure. We kill our “enemies” to ensure our security but we end up more insecure and less free, because our “enemies” are fighting to kill us and be both secure and free. The challenge for military might gave birth to nuclear weapons.

So far, the United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France, and China have been formally recognized as the nuclear weapon states. Other states believed to have these nuclear weapons include India, North Korea, Pakistan, and Israel, which has had a policy of opacity regarding the matter.Sensing the madness which has crept into the desire for security, and its impending over-damaging consequences, the treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also called Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT or NNPT) was brought into force by the United Nations on the 5th of March, 1970.

Mortal desires are both indulging and harmful; so is the desire for nuclear weapons as security measures. Iran, at present, has held the whole world hostage with its quest for the enrichment of nuclear fuel, which many fear is for development of nuclear weapons. In order to curtail the global result of the culmination of this mortal desires, and to maintain the non-proliferation treaty, the United Nations must ‘write boldly’ the unmistakable dangers of a ‘global cum nuclear village’ on every wall. This fresh rekindling of awareness will help them see that there is one and only real threat to global freedom and security which is yet to be unequaled; this threat is any government that insists on developing nuclear weapons. In the case of Iran, The United Nation should know that the world’s mortal desires will culminate into global doom should the Iranian regime be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

The Iranian case should not be viewed from the angle of ‘brotherly-discounts,’ but should be seen as a threat to our ecumenical existence. Every applicable measure must be used to, not only to deter, but to dismantle, from its root, the Iranian century-long nuclear weapon dream and that of any other country on queue. It’s a mortal desire that will culminate into a global doom. Only after these mortal desires have been checked can we hope to find our way toward freedom and security in a new coin with no sides.
