Women Leaders

I agree with English on this totally. I believe that, yes, there have been good female leaders and representatives for the female population, but that doesn't mean that we, as women, would be any less capable of starting or stopping wars. We do show more emotion then males but, personally, I would see that as a weakness rather then an asset. I do agree that there has been way more male influential people then female and that just because they're the head of power doesn't make them a good leader. Does that mean that women are not capable of leading a country? Not at all, but I do think that in spite of our giant leap into the future and not being a gender bias as much anymore, people still are and the world really is sexist. We don't like to admit it and frown upon it when it's reported but that's just how the world is. I'm not trying to knock down my own gender but I'm just being realistic.

"Almost everyone now agrees that we need to leave and it was a bad choice on Bush's part, but everyone wanted us in there at the beginning."

I totally agree with you on this point, English, and I myself have never been a huge fan of going over there to start with. War will never and has never been a means to promote peace. To many people (and I frimly believe this) it's just another excuse to pick up a gun and kill someone different then you. It always seems like it has no purpose and it's always a lose-lose situation. I'm not trying to sound like I'm not being supportive of my country or anything. I am, in fact, very unpatriotic and, every morning, get snide remarks from my classmates in 1st period because I don't stand and say the pledge. I'm not trying to be unsupportive but I feel like my family supports this 'war' enough, because my brother is currently fighting it.

On that note: Have a Good Weekend and enjoy Homecoming!! ^_^
