One of the current problems Egypt faces is finding a new President, now that Hosni Mubarak's son, Hosni W. Mubarak, has bowed out. Egypt will need a special figure to unite a country new to democracy.
Americans are in an excellent position to advise on this choice, having been voters in a democracy for hundreds of years. We hold the experience needed and the wisdom. My suggestion is that Egyptians elect a charismatic fellow of proven charm who has the ability to read a speech compellingly. In this country no sort of person has better fit that bill--I speak in historical terms--than a former actor old enough to be approaching dementia. That is why I am nominating Omar Sharif.
Who else in Egypt is 78 years old, speaks seven languages, was a leading expert in contract bridge and had an affair with Barbra Steisand?
