My Take
James Rubin fascinates me because he has lived on both sides of the word. Inside the Clinton State Department he shaped public messaging as assistant secretary; later he turned around and dissected foreign affairs as a Sunday Times columnist. That dual vantage, having wielded power and then critiqued it, is rare and gives his commentary real weight. A Columbia graduate born in 1960, he reads as sharp and forceful. I value voices that understand the machinery of diplomacy from the inside before they presume to judge it from the outside, and Rubin's career embodies precisely that hard-earned authority.
