Puts a whole new spin on "First Lady"
For International Women's Day, a call for regime change: If Women Ran the World.
Reprinted from a column the man wrote on the eve of the Iraq invasion in '03. The effects might be a little optimistic, as I'm sure there are some bellicose bitches in the world, but for the most part, it feels on target.
(Also of note, according to costofwar.com, he's only about 100 billion short on his cost estimate on the Iraq war.)
A sample:
AT 11:59PM TONIGHT, EVERY MAN IN POWER IN EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD STEPS DOWN. AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, WE TURN OVER CONTROL, POWER, and AUTHORITY OF THE PLANET TO WOMEN.
If women ran the world, here’s what could happen, starting tomorrow:
The leadership model would be one of serving, not dominating.
War as a pre-emptive method of conflict resolution would not be a model we teach our children.
The words, “compassionate conservatism” would have a ring of truth to them.
Peace, love and understanding, not power, perks and politics would be the highest considerations.
There would be more points of view than, “You’re either with us, or you’re against us.”
Within weeks, every starving child on the planet would have food to eat.
Within months, the homeless would have some kind of shelter.
Every sick person would get medical attention, whether they could afford it or not.
Homicide bombing would stop. Mothers don’t send their children to commit suicide and kill others for someone else’s fanatical beliefs.
There would be an end to honor killing, and all forms of torture; physical, mental and emotional.
Genocide everywhere would end...
Hey, a guy can dream.
