Sounds great, but it looks like crap on paper miss.

You would probably also find that i'm a lot more agreeable on IM.
Peace will always remain unattainable as long as the ego of man continues a "kill and conquer" if I don't get my way standpoint. If women were at the helm, diplomacy could be successful in obtaining world peace, since women tend to have a more diplomatic nature. However I don't foresee a woman leader in every country, in our lifetime.

And again, thanks, but no thanks, on the IM.

beyond the fact that women are the most catty backstabbing creatures known to man, you're missing the point entirely.

World peace. No more weapons, no more war, no more death.

Project that 10 years, than 50 years and tell me what you get.

As for the IM, as you see fit miss. Shame, i have every other mod of WAB on IM. I guess there's an exception to every rule.

I haven't noticed anything particularly diplomatic about Margaret Thatcher, or our own p.m. Helen Clark

If a woman was at the helm, I would send in Snipe as the diplomat.

I was under the impression you admired Margaret Thatcher? Did you mislead me?

That wouldn't work because the first time Snipe didn't get his way, he would exterminate (kill) them.

I feel an uneasiness about you that I'd rather not connect with on a more personal level. Sorry.

Well SnipEy, you're about to see if you are right about that since Condi Rice is now the face and spokesperson for the United States. Projections?? In 200 years, a black woman has emerged from slavery and oppression and is now in a position to represent diplomacy for our country in an international capacity. That is not a bad time-frame from start to finish for an accomplishment of a woman. However, I reserve the right for future comments, since her results are remained to be seen.

In just over 50 years Dr. Rice has progressed from a poor segrigated black woman, to an invaluable part of 3 presidential administrations. She is a woman that understands the American ideal of freedom, and she isn't afraid to point out those who oppose it. Also, IMHO she's quite attractive. Keep a cowgirl in the White House, Condi for Prez!!!

Nuts a Black is a Black.

She can never be the President.

Cowgirl or a female one, it makes no diff.

The Indian, who converted to be a Christian, Bobby Jinadal, and was more Bible thumping a man than Bush could ever be, couldn't be a Governor; so whatever makes one feel a black will be President!

Sure i would love to see such liberal things happening, but I am a pragmatist.

It too a long time for Blacks to be accepted in society. Let's just wait. Sure things will change, but not so fast!

If Condi Rice is attractive, Confed, then Sniper is the cutest thing this side of the Atlantic!

. As bad as I hate to admit it, the time will arrive when that will be very possible Ray, so I suggest you get over it.

You guys will never vote for a black or a chocolate coloured.

Second generation India. All conservative values he thumped more than Bush. Converted to Christianity. Changed his name. to be more American. Decried his origin and pronounced hoiw American he is, and yet he missed being the Givernor of his State to a person who was white and was not so liked as per the post election poll!

Stop being political correct.

You never did for Bobby Jindal and you wont.
