A study in History and Politics

 Ladies in Power



I had to laugh a few years ago, because the media barons don't know their history.

During the 2016 US election run, there was a lot of hype about the theory from Confucius that if three women come into power the world would end in war.

With Theresa May heading the UK, Angela Markel as the German chancellor and Hillary Clinton in the running for US President the media went mad.

People we passed that mark over 40 years ago when Margaret Thatcher lead the UK, Golda Meir lead Israel and Indira Gandhi lead India.
One of my fave quotes comes from Golda Meir when she said "there will be no peace in the Middle East while the Arabs hate Israel more than they love their children."  As true now as when she said it, what loving parent would willing turn their child into a walking bomb?

Another quote to remember is from Mrs. Gandhi "You can't shake hands with a closed fist." The irony here is Mrs.Gandhi's name still brings a bad taste to the mouth of many in India after her enforced circumsission policy to aid birth control.

What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..
