A US delegation including Laura Bush and Condeleeza Rice attend the inauguartaion of the first female president of Liberia. The president-e;ect is an economist.

What a wonderful event for a country torn up by years of civil war.

Germany now also has a female president : Angela Arkel.

Perhpas this trend will be beneficial. Who knows?

yeah i totally agree. i am one those guys who is more than willing to give women a chance at the helm, coz us guys have been doing a crappy job, to put it nicely.

my sister was in Liberia working for the UN mission overseeing the elections, so she had a front row seat when the events transpired. it was one the best experiences of her life.

i hope the new president is successful and DOES start a new trend.

Yes, well, girls will have their time in the sun soon, they're getting more popular for leadership. Perhaps it's their better social skills? They aren't warlords like too many of us men.
