"History is just littered with problems that were solved that were supposed to be impossible." ― Paul Wolfowitz Topic(s): History More From Paul Wolfowitz "We did not go to war in Afghanistan or in Iraq to, quote, ‘impose democracy.’ We went to war in both places because we saw those regimes as a threat to the United States." "It’s wonderful that so many people want to contribute to fighting aids or malaria. But, if somebody isn’t paying attention to the overall health system in the country, a whole lot of money can be wasted." "I mean, we’re going to probably debate the Iraq war for at least as long as I’m alive." More In History "My generation of bossy, confident, baby-boom women were something brand new in history. Our energy and assertiveness weren’t created by Betty Friedan, unknown before her 1963 book, or by Gloria Steinem, whose political activism, as even the Lifetime profile admitted, did not begin until 1969."― Camille Paglia "There’s a difference between knowing what’s on the page in a history book and actually feeling that page have curves and valleys."― Garth Brooks "The people who have really made history are the martyrs."― Aleister Crowley
