About this Quote
This quote by Lawrence Eagleburger is a warning about the possible consequences of enabling North Korea and Iran to continue their nuclear weapons programs. He is recommending that if we do not act now, we will have to face the consequences in the future. He is stressing the significance of going over and resolving the problem now, rather than waiting on it to end up being a larger issue in the future. He is also suggesting that if we do not act now, we will be facing a far more hazardous and unstable world in a decade's time. Eagleburger is advising us to consider the long-lasting implications of our present inaction and to take action now to prevent a future disaster.
