My Take
Haass is the sort of figure I find genuinely admirable, the architect working behind the curtain of world affairs. From Brooklyn to a Rhodes Scholarship to the inner circle of Colin Powell's State Department, he spent decades thinking in frameworks rather than headlines. Leading the Council on Foreign Relations for twenty years is no small feat, and it speaks to a temperament that stays clear-eyed while the political weather changes. I value people who design the structures within which decisions get made. As both scholar and practitioner, he embodies a kind of patient, unglamorous statecraft that quietly holds things together.
