My Take
Paul Bremer occupies one of the most consequential and contested roles I can imagine evaluating. A Yale-educated career diplomat from Hartford, he was handed administration of Iraq through the Coalition Provisional Authority in the chaos following the 2003 invasion. Whatever one concludes about his decisions, and the debate remains fierce, the sheer weight of governing a country under those conditions is staggering. The 2004 Presidential Medal of Freedom only sharpened the controversy around his tenure. I do not feel positioned to deliver a verdict, but I do recognize the gravity of accepting such a thankless and historically defining assignment.
