Someone did a study -- I think it was in the '80s -- of all the women who were then or had headed countries and whether those countries had engaged in wars. Interestingly, the female-led countries out-violenced the male-led ones by an overwhelming factor...something like 20 times. There was Golda Meir (was with all the surrounding Arab countries); Thatcher (Falklands), Gandhi (Pakistan, Amritsar), etc. So this idea that women leading countries is somehow going to be better for peace is, simply, crap according to this study. Also if one were to graph and correlate the instance of wars and conflicts on the planet and the number of deaths resulting from these conflicts with women getting the vote, there would be a very high correlation.

I have always said , since before the Iraq war, that it is one of the Historical Strategic Blunders of all Time (H_S_B_of_T) ..and I will be so HAPPY when women run the world, and use me as their toyboy (which is already happening by the way, as some kind of predictive pre-cursor of what it will be like in the future ) Naw, seriously the Iraq invasion was perpetrated by one of the most brain dead humans that ever lived (and his retarded brain damaged cronies).

The founder of CNN and unabashed internationalist also defended the right of Iran to have nuclear weapons and the effectiveness of the United Nations and, in a jocular mood, advocated banning men from elective office worldwide in a Reuters Newsmaker appearance. Alternately combative and humorous, Turner spoke nine years after his pledge to donate $1 billion to the United Nations over 10 years and on the same day President Bush addressed the U.N. General Assembly a mile away. The U.S. invasion of Iraq has caused incalculable damage that will take 20 years to overcome if we just act reasonably intelligently. It will go down in history, it is already being seen in history, as one of the dumbest moves that was ever made by anybody. A couple of others that come to mind were the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the German invasion of Russia, Turner told the forum. It literally broke my heart. You don't start wars just because you don't like somebody. ... I wouldn't even start a war with Rupert Murdoch, Turner said, referring to his onetime cable network rival. Often contrarian, Turner called it a joke that Bush demanded that Iran abandon any ambitions for nuclear weapons while at the same time hoping to ban all such bombs. They're a sovereign state, Turner said of Iran. We have 28,000. Why can't they have 10? We don't say anything about Israel -- they've got 100 of them approximately -- or India or Pakistan or Russia. And really, nobody should have them. POWER TO THE WOMEN One way to reduce such dangers in the world would be to leave women in charge, said the former husband of Jane Fonda. Men should be barred from public office for 100 years in every part of the world. ... It would be a much kinder, gentler, more intelligently run world. The men have had millions of years where we've been running things. We've screwed it up hopelessly. Let's give it to the women. In the meantime, the United Nations represents the best hope, Turner said. While the world body is ridiculed as ineffective and irrelevant by its harshest critics and often criticized by its strongest advocates, Turner offered what was then one-third of his net worth to the world body nine years ago. I am absolutely certain we would not have made it through the Cold War without the U.N., Turner said. When Khrushchev at the U.N. took his shoe off and hit podium he was so mad, but he had a place to let off steam. If the U.N. hadn't been there, that would have been war right then. When a questioner from the audience challenged Turner on the United Nations's value, Turner shot back. The war between Lebanon and Israel and Hizbollah would still be going on if it hadn't been for the U.N., and that's only in the last two weeks, Bubba. - Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!
