Nice, but wrong. "Critics are wrong to portray Wolfowitz as a malevolent genius," writes Michael Lind.

"In fact, he's friendly, soft-spoken, well meaning and thoughtful. He would be the model of a scholar and a statesman but for one fact: He is completely inept."

three-decade career in U.S. foreign policy can be summed up by the term that President Bush coined to describe the war in Iraq that Wolfowitz promoted and helped to oversee: a 'catastrophic success.' "
