By changing our perspective and believe about people. Then change comes in.

My brother,ordinarily,the milk of human kindness that flows in me would have bought your assertion,wholeheartedly.However,human nature is a constant.No matter how we try to romanticize about it,man will be man.According to Machiavelli,the passions of men repeat itself.Men will always be aggressive towards one another.So no matter how good we try to view people,their essential nature wont change.As long as the feel threatened,they will want to acquire power to balance the threat.This will lead to an arms race.Thus,the race of a balance of power,will turn to that of balance of FEAR.Enough of my abstract constructs.Let's speak in concrete terms.
As long as Iran fears threatened by her Nuclear neighbors,her Nuclear program cannot be civil.And since her system of government of based on religion,which is a non-rational phenomenon,she cannot be trusted with Nukes.

The recent launching of a Satellite by North Korea and the position of the West, which fears that it was actually a covet Missile test shows that Nuclear proliferation is still at the heart of International Relations. Interestingly, Obama and medvedev has agreed in PRINCIPLE to reduce the Nuclear stockpile of the USA and Russia respectively. let's keep our legs cross, get popcorns and sit back and watch our the drama goes. The theater of international politics is always interesting to those who love suspense & intrigues.

 Shocked Today we understand that having nuclear Technology is one of the factors that characterized a develop country. But the technology can serve for two purpose: 1) civilian purpose e.g in power plant for electricity generation and 2) millitary purpose e.g ballistis missiles.
We have seen the divesting effect of nuclear weapon in japan Hiroshima And Nagassaki during the second world war and USA being the experimenter and from all indication regretted the experiment.
"Remember does who kill by stabbing don't want a person to stand behind them with a knife fearing............."
So for that they may do anything to stop the proliferation being it for civilian or millitary purposes because many will hind under civilian purposes to later convert it to millitary.

Thanks my brother. You made great points here. The whole fight against Nuclear proliferation is a product of FEAR. Fear of the unknown. There is no empirical or historical justification for it. Paradoxically, I think, Nuclear weapons make this world a safer place. I say this because it is a historical fact that the world has enjoyed longer period on relative peace under the Nuclear age than any other time in modern state system. Since 1945 when the Nuclear age began with the Hiroshima & Nagasaki attacks, there has never been any war between great or medium Powers. This is all because of Nuclear deterrence.  So if all the states that got it after 1945 have not used theirs, why do the US thinks new Nuclear states will use theirs against it?

The new tango between Washington & Moscow to reduce their Nukes, how far do y'all think it can go? I doubt if it will make any difference. As far as, both states still have the technology, they can re-arm anytime any day they deem fit.

Technology caused nothing. It's the nature of man that causes everything. Is technology from Heaven or outer space? No. Man creates them. Even when human society was at it's very rudimentary and primitive state, men still device ways to dominate and kill each other. So, don't blame modernization.
