Sure, the guy'll talk your ear off, but he knows his Shiite. He was calling for partition in Iraq way back when, and he was a voice of reason from Pakistan before, during, and in the aftermath of elections in Pakistan. If America ain't ready for a Black-Brown ticket, he could be considered for V.P. as well... but we'd like to see him in a position where he'd actually do something. Our only concern is that he appears to have gills on his forehead.
(Editor's note-- we are quite pleased that this posting provides a rather smooth transition into our next one)
