I think they should pick an Arab for Pope. Imagine if the Patriarch of Lebanon was elected, he’s a 72 year old Cardinal.

It could carry as much symbolism as when John-Paul II was elected in 1978, not to mention be a beacon of hope for Christians in the Middle East.

Arinze would be my choice, if he wasn’t 80.
