More quotes by Paul Wolfowitz
I wish there were somebody I could be comfortable voting for. I might have to vote for Hillary Clinton, even though I have big reservations about her.
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.
Paul Wolfowitz
Poles understand perhaps better than anyone the consequences of making toothless warnings to brutal tyrants and terrorist regimes.
Paul Wolfowitz
It's a very bad thing when people exterminate other people, and people persecute minorities.
Paul Wolfowitz
NATO is still the most remarkable alliance in history. It stuck together through 40 years of Cold War, and it then joined together to fight in Afghanistan. In the 1980s, I would not have thought this was going to be possible.
Paul Wolfowitz
The most striking thing is that even before Osama bin Laden was killed, he seemed largely irrelevant to the Arab Spring.
Paul Wolfowitz
People change their habits. I know Americans who don't go to Paris because they think it is too dangerous.
Paul Wolfowitz
Public action should seek to expand the set of opportunities of those who have the least voice and fewest resources and capabilities.
Paul Wolfowitz
History is just littered with problems that were solved that were supposed to be impossible.
Paul Wolfowitz
It's hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army. Hard to imagine.
Paul Wolfowitz
China, in the future, is going to have even more nuclear capability than it has had in the past. I don't believe that they have anything to fear from the United States, and I frankly don't believe they do fear the United States.
Paul Wolfowitz
Every math curriculum in the world is based on the idea of hand-calculating, and most of what you're teaching is how to calculate. And I think the resistance to this is very variable.
Paul Wolfowitz
Jobs are a priority for every country. Doing more to improve regulation and help entrepreneurs is the key to creating jobs - and more growth.
Paul Wolfowitz
The absence of Saddam is a huge weight off the Arab world.
Paul Wolfowitz
I like globalization I want to say it works, but it is hard to say that when six hundred million people are slipping backwards.
Paul Wolfowitz
I think Obama sees everything through one lens. Doing nothing in the face of the slaughter in Syria is not only shameful, it is unrealistic. This approach leaves Syria as a broken country and a breeding ground for extremists for decades.
Paul Wolfowitz
I think it's a mistake to rely too much on any one economic factor. It's why investors try to spread their portfolio round.
Paul Wolfowitz
Saddam Hussein had nerve gas and used it against his own people, he had used chemical weapons against the Iranians and he almost had a nuclear bomb in 1981 and in 1991. And he had been caught with anthrax in 1995 by the UN inspections after denying that he had it.
Paul Wolfowitz
Our security depends on having good relationships with our allies. Donald Trump mainly shows contempt for them.
Paul Wolfowitz
To stay back from an intervention is not always a good solution.
