Architects of Foreign Policy…

The Kagan family is a very intellectual and influential family. Donald, Fredrick, Robert, and Kimberly Kagan — all related — are major academics in terms of U.S. foreign policy, international relations, and history. The Washington Post reported that it was one of the Kagan’s who created the surge strategy we are seeing in Iraq today. Although of a neoconservative persuasion which I strongly dislike and disagree with, the Kagan family is surely a source to be benefited from in terms of knowledge.
Thus, I was extremely pleased last night to see Kimberly Kagan on CSPAN’s Q&A. Kagan spoke of military policy, and history, the Iraq war, and many other topics. The transcript is worth a read.
KIM KAGAN, PRESIDENT, INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF WAR: I’m a military analyst and a military historian. I am the President of the Institute for the Study of War which is a non-partisan think tank here in Washington, D.C., that aims to educate civilians and civilian policymakers in particular about military affairs, military policy, and the ongoing operations that they have to encounter and wrestle with in their decision-making here in Washington.
