Dear Editor,
I like the idea. This one about gathering five presidents (former and present) in one room. It was something I have always pushed for, but I confess that the PPP did me one better. My thinking was of two at a table; President Ali called for five at the same time. This is way better than the three kings of Christmas carol fame.
I have a few suggestions on what should be high up on the agenda of conversation. Only three of them, and there are in this order: truth and reconciliation, oil management, and the economy. As I visualize this, the event of the 15th (if it occurs) does not have to deteriorate to the Ides of December, but the first step in our thousand-mile-long journey to finding out who we are, what we can do, and which starts with how we should be. Come to think of it: how we must be, no ifs ands or buts about it. I take my three suggestions one by one, and make a start myself from my lowly rung at the bottom of the ladder.
