If women ruled the world

A friend of mine on facebook posted this saying: If women ruled the world, there'd be no wars. Now this is a saying I have heard before, but in this politically-charged time, it got me thinking. Now as a divorced man, and a guy with 4 sisters, I can tell you that idea a woman wouldn't go to war is at best, ludicrous. Heck any man that's ever been married or lived with a woman knows there are times she'd go to war (And I don't mean time of month). Everyone knows, or should know, that if someone threatens to or actually harms a woman's family, she will do whatever it takes it protect, or at worst, get revenge for anything done to her family. But a woman wouldn't go to war for stupid reasons that have nothing to do with the safety and protection of her family. And a woman at the head of a country will feel the same way about the country. Think Golda Meir of Israel or Margaret Thatcher of Great Britain. They would and did go to war to protect their country, their family as it was. Now, to put it in today's context, when bin-Laden attacked and took down the towers, a woman would have no problem going after him and his group with all the fury at her disposal. But she wouldn't have gone to war and invaded Iraq. If women ruled the world, there'd be wars, but there'd be few if any stupid, petty wars.
