He does cut quite a figure. Hope some more women here give some input.
That blue and green cloak he wears. I've seen nothing like it worn by any other Afghan. Is it Afghan? An Italian version of something Afghan? What a Seattle deacon wears on NFL football Sundays to show his support for the Seahawks???
IMHO, Karzai appears to be in approximately the same age group as President Bush, Tony Blair, Vlad Putin. These younger leaders are more fit than the world leaders we used to see when I was much younger like Kruschev and Lyndon. Afghanistan will need a charismatic, worldly looking leader to help bring Afghanistan together. Karzai should look like a leader whose socks match, etc., so that his citizens begin to have confidence in his ability to lead. It's the subliminable stuff as Dubya would say.
I'd rather look at him any day of the week than ever see the likes of bin laden or his mullahs ever again and Merry Christmas.
