Greetings, The Quincy Institute hasn’t formally launched yet but is already garnering a tremendous amount of attention.  Our focus in the past weeks has primarily been to raise funds, hire staff, build the non-resident fellowship program, and so forth. But because of the buzz around QI, we have on occasion agreed to publish analyses and opinion pieces to provide Quincy’s perspective. I would like to bring your attention to four articles in particular: 1. QI President Andrew Bacevich in the New York Times on what the US should and shouldn’t do in regards to the tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/16/opinion/iran-saudi-arabia.html 2. QI’s Stephen Wertheim in the New York Times on how to end endless war: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/opinion/sunday/endless-war-america.html 3. QI’s Stephen Wertheim in the Washington Post on why QI’s opposition to endless wars has been controversial, but shouldn’t be: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/08/30/quincy-institute-opposes-americas-endless-wars-why-should-that-be-scandal/ 4. My article in Foreign Affairs last week on what it will take to deescalate US-Iran tensions: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/iran/2019-09-18/bolton-gone-will-rouhani-meet-trump  There are also a few TV/Radio/Podcast appearances you might find of interest: 1. Andrew Bacevich appeared on WGBH Boston to discuss an Afghanistan withdrawal: https://www.wgbh.org/news/national-news/2019/09/12/greater-boston-full-show-09-11-19. 2. Stephen Wertheim appeared on Cato's Daily Podcast as well as on CSPAN to discuss Quincy. 3. Suzanne DiMaggio was on Ploughshares' Podcast, Press the Button. 4. I was on NPR’s Morning Edition last week to discuss tensions in the Persian Gulf. This is just a preview of the high-level impact QI will have once it fully launches in late November.  In advance of the launch, please follow QI’s Twitter feed to keep abreast of our public writings: https://twitter.com/QuincyInst. Sincerely, Trita Parsi Executive Vice President PS. We welcome your financial support towards the Quincy Institute and our efforts to move U.S. foreign policy away from endless war.
