The Diplomats
December 01, 2016
Steven Simon’s warning in the January 4, 2000, edition of the New York Times was like cold water in the face of Americans still bleary-eyed from partying like it was 1999. Simon, fresh from a counterterrorism assignment in the Clinton White House, and his National Security Council colleague Daniel Benjamin wrote of a new combination of “religious motivation and the desire to inflict catastrophic damage,” among extremists in the Middle East. This movement, they predicted, would only “grow and persist” even if its then little-known leader Osama bin Laden were arrested immediately. When Simon and Benjamin’s words proved prophetic on September 11, 2001, it illustrated the importance of religious knowledge—and the consequences of its absence—in national security and foreign policy circles.
“Social science tended to derogate or deride the importance of religion,” he says. “People in government just didn’t think in those terms.” Simon, MTS ’77, is part of a group of Harvard Divinity School alumni helping to shape U.S. diplomacy and foreign policy at the highest levels. These graduates— who also include the first female director of religion and peacebuilding at the U.S. Institute of Peace and the first United States permanent representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council—carry with them a deep understanding of the world’s major traditions and a commitment to ethics and justice. Together, they are forging a new approach to international relations that acknowledges the central role of religion.

Steven Simon Jan. 2, 2020
What if the former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Qassim Suleimani, visits Baghdad for a meeting and you know the address? The temptations to use hypersonic missiles will be many.
