That doesnt help. You have to be a leader to lead a country. I dont think even Manmohan Singh is a leader. He is a sincere guy an expert in finance. That US system is better that the process they go through to become a President, American chose a leader.
I ma not sure how you would define leadership? Leadership to me is charting the course for the country whether its overt (through speeches or grand displays) or behind the scenes by setting the right policies. Based on this definition Manmohan Singh is a leader.
If you're expecting a tall strapping fellow with a gnarly mustache dominating people, then sure Singh is not your man.
Since you think that the US is so great in selecting leaders, I am assuming you like the heavy handed rhetoric of Bush or the sniveling lies of Clinton.
In terms of Pakistan, Quaid E Azam, Liaquat Ali Khan, Ayub Khan, ZAB, and BB could be considered 'leaders' on the international level. Folks like Zia, Yahya Khan, Jamali, and Nawaz Sharif could hardly had a 'presence.'
a.k.a. Tariq Akhtar, if Americans can be proud of their country after Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, Bush, and Iraq; then why not Pakistanis even after all this?
If Israelis can be proud of several massacres in Lebanon and Palestine, and continued occupation of foreign land then why not Pakistanis?
^ and what ARE you finding to be proud about? Which deeks to get rid off - the politician? the religious? the military? the provincials? What??? Which?
HOW?

Re: is it possible to be proud to be Pakistani after last week?
2 things.
1) ISI is linked to terrorist groups. Best for all if Pakistan solves this.
2) On Gilani and red carpet. I havent seen the video, but all sourcing stating its absence appear to be Indian ones. Anyone have the arrival video so it can be viewed?

^ This is not a rational questions. Egyptian Foreign Minister was asked the same question in BBC Hard Talk after 9/11. He replied in some similar words, "Do all Christians feels ashamed after what Hitler did?".
