Would Jack Bauer be a good president?

Sir, although Jacob Weisberg’s much fun “How to tell a killer from a future president”, March 22, might no be that saloon-clean article you want to associate yourself with, I cannot resist but to remark on the somewhat irrelevant title since in order to elect a future president, you might not necessarily have to tell him from a killer. I mean we should not completely discard the possibilities that someone of those serial killers listed by Weisberg could in fact have turned out to be a good president (I did not say better) if given a chance for a carrier change. At the end of the day whom we elect is probably the candidate that projects our own wishes the better, and luckily, the majority of us wish more to be president than serial killers. Let us pray it stays that way… I mean in these days of Jack Bauer’s as heroes you might never really know.
