This website is dedicated to serving those key influencers - Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative - who are shaping the foreign policy debate in the United States, and who understand that security and prosperity cannot be sustained through unilateralism and belligerence at one extreme, or isolationism on the other, but only through a philosophy  of responsible global engagement.

On this site you will find a "go to" resource that offers -- a few clicks away, in concise and ready-to-use format - virtually everything you need to articulate a sound policy and a powerful message on the toughest national security and foreign policy challenges, beginning with Iran.

Our policy is developed by teams of seasoned diplomats, leading thinkers and top experts working together to develop policy with a breadth and depth of rigor and insight that no single author working alone could match.  Top-flight writers and messaging experts then turn their policy content into ready-to-use talking points framed in clear language that resonates with the American public.  We then display this content on a specially-organized website designed to make the insights extremely easy for you, the user, to find.

We believe that combining sound policy, effective messaging and ready-to-use format in a single easily accessible website will create a valuable resource - a resource that will enrich the foreign policy debate, empower those who have the right ideas, and promote the adoption of policies that both uphold our values and succeed.  

We are beginning with a pilot project on Iran - what the United States should and should not do in managing the Iranian challenge, and why.
