"Saddam is despised in his own country, as anyone who rules the way he has would be. He is hated in the north by the Kurds, in the south by the Shi’a, in the west even by many Sunnis — and organizing a resistance to Saddam would not be difficult... So my plea to my colleagues in government is to start the planning now for the removal of Saddam Hussein, work with the opposition now so we won’t be in the situation we were in when we went into Afghanistan where we had no one on the ground, because we could put Iraqi opposition on the ground tomorrow in Iraq."

"We conduct research on pressing issues— the war on terrorism, developments in the Middle East, nuclear proliferation in South Asia, relations with China, Russia, and Japan— and long-term questions, such as the roles of religion and ethnicity in international politics, or the nature of Western identity and its implications for the U.S. and the Atlantic Alliance.

We publish a quarterly journal, Orbis, and a series of bulletins, both of which draw on the research findings of our scholars, our Inter-University Study Groups, our conferences, and our seminars.

And, through our Marvin Wachman Fund for International Education and through our History Academy, we educate the public and 'teach the teachers.' In this way, we serve the community and the nation, the policymakers and the educators, Wall Street and Main Street."

"Founded in 1955, FPRI is devoted to bringing the insights of scholarship to bear on the development of policies that advance U.S. national interests. We add perspective to events by fitting them into the larger historical and cultural context of international politics."
