King Abdullah II

Boy I am impressed!

King Abdullah II of Jordan addressed the US Congress. I saw the live telecast and boy I am impressed .. and that is rare. The speech was frequently interrupted by standing ovations by none other than Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Mr. Vice President Dick Cheney. This guy has it in him.

Post discourse thoughts were however directed towards my own country’s leadership. A BJP loyalist that I am, would nevertheless love to see Rahul Gandhi take the helm. I am quite tired of our octogenarian leaders who have one foot already in their graves.

Update: Recommend this excellant post on middle east issues. It beautifully and more importantly objectively summarises the follies in Middle East.
