(Via Mike on Roger Simon's comments) C-SPAN.org: Search Results - "Winning the Battle of Ideas: Another Front in the War on Terror."

Follow the above link to see the CSpan broadcast of Paul Wolfowitz's appearance at Georgetown, where he gave a talk following his recent trip to Iraq. Of particular interest is the question and answer session following the speech. Wolfowitz is amazingly poised as several students take the opportunity of directly questioning one of the top guys in the War on Terror by instead flaunting their ignorance and childishly grandstanding with their own political statements. Instead of decending to their level, Wolfowitz takes the opportunity to calmly and rationally respond to their remarks, showing himself as the mature, thoughtful statesman he is. That's why I'd never make it in politics. I have way too much of the wise-guy in me not say exactly what was on my mind. BTW, I am fairly certain that none of the students was either expelled, imprisoned or lowered into a plastic shredder following the talk.

He also spoke to them with respect and caring treating the kids like an equal.
Then the kid used the microphone to yell that the press should hold him to it.

To whom it May Concen

Hi, I am an Canadain student, who is subsequently stark contrast to the "Americian International geo-Politics" which in turn has debased, "International Rule of Law." It is to my contention that this is a direct result of a " Paper" by Paul Woltwitz" in the early 1990's. The "Bush" doctrine, and his recent comments, where he stated that he is "War time President" is a complete "mis-represetation" to the "American" laity. Being a history major, I find difficlt to succumb to this "mans" convoluted sense of international politics. I believe the "Americans" should enter into a period of islolation, as prior to the "Second war" and focus on "domestic policy" rather than International: whereby defiling, "Rule of Law." I ask how do we judge a society, historically it has been answered. We must work towards evolution and not revolution.
