"I mean, we’re going to probably debate the Iraq war for at least as long as I’m alive." ― Paul Wolfowitz Topic(s): War More From Paul Wolfowitz "I told my father I had to try political science for a year. He thought I was throwing my life away." "I think, in the longer view of things, there is a very powerful pull in the direction of participatory government." "If greater openness is a key to economic success, I believe there is increasingly a need for openness in the political sphere as well." More In War "War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means."― Karl Von Clausewitz "War is an abstraction."― Bruce Jackson "If you run an Internet search on Vietnam and the war, most of the information you get begins at about 1962. I think this is telling. It is missing the whole period that led up to the reasons the war happened in the first place."― Brendan Fraser
