--Show me those countries where a woman is running legitimately the chance to be in one of the highest offices in the land (Hillary in the primaries, Palin in the general). That one of the most powerful legislators is a female (Pelosi). Where there are independent business owners, private bosses, all the way up to CEO's that are female? --
I think you will find that even in Pakistan there has already been a female leader (Benazir Bhutto) and that there are already female CEO's of companies.
I'm not defending Pakistan, certainly it's no real "ally" as some on this forum believe it to be in the war in Afghanistan - and female leaders have been shot either for running for Prime Minister (Bhutto) or Zilla Huma Usman (female minister in govt 2006) for refusing to wear a veil and being a female rights activist. However, it is right that SgtRock posts these stories - I would like to also see more stories about women like Zilla Huma Usman too however - facing Islamic extremists in her own country is a brave thing to do and something she paid for with her life.
