Proposed: Zardari for President

Excerpts from a recent New York Times article:

If Pakistan is the most dangerous country on earth … its presidency is one of the world’s least enviable posts. ….

My impression? This guy’s very smart, street smart, a wheeler-dealer in an area full of them, secular, pro-American, committed to democracy, and brave. I never heard Musharraf frame Pakistan’s fight against terrorism with such candor. …

Zardari added this: “I am not a warmonger. I am not interested in physical might which is not the expression of my strength. I have many strengths, and one of them is that I can take pain, not give pain. I don’t consider anyone who can give pain brave, I consider anyone who can take pain brave. That is why I consider a woman a stronger gender because she can take much more pain than a man.”

How about we give him safe passage to the White House?
