Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?

I agree with your comment Rintense who cares what the rest of the world thinks. Both my country and yours often finds itself at odds with the rest of the world anyway.

As for free bird forever comments coming from a country that had a woman Prime Minister and a very successful one at that I do not see it as a handicap. She had no problem in the Middle East. Also Condi is currently Sec of State in that role she probably has more day to day contact with the middle east than a President or Vice President would so argument unless you do not agree with her appointment as Sec of State does not hold water. Also don't forget Israel had a woman Prime Minister a very strong and well thought of one at that with Golda Meir. Having said all of this I do not consider replacing the VP either likely, viable or sensible.

The appearance of weakness or vulnerability invites attacks and privation.

I know that Condi is the darling of the neocons and the CFR crowd, and I fully acknowledge all she has accomplished. I have even encouraged my little niece to follow her example.

But I fully believe that the election of a woman to the highest office in the US will be seen by our enemies as nothing more than a big "Kick Me" sign. One which they will most happily oblige.
