Yes... But everytime Mario Brothers came out again, Bowser was ruler again. Perhaps Mario should have taken a more vidal role to ensure peace.

PS- it is all because you all had women bound up in the house or caves with babies. It would have been a lot different if we were revered for something other than our bodies and home-skeels.

But then again- if you think about it- we have ruled the world since the beginning of time and will continue to do so- most with a certain control.

Very True.... I wonder how many wars have been started because some guy had his tongue hanging out going, yes dear, yes dear, yes dear.

If you believe the world would be better if ruled by a woman look up Catherine the Great, female Zarist of Russia. She presided over something like 7 wars (I think that number is correct) and during her rule most Russian men dropped one class.

This does not mean I think a female ruler is a bad thing ( Unless it's Hillary). It just means I think a female ruler is no better or worse than a male.

I'm sorry up front to all the women on this forum but, women and war do not mix ! I just don't think our minds work that way. But I do think every GREAT leader had a GREAT woman supporting him. SO....... i guess I'm ready for the estrogen beating I'm about to get.

No way. She had to be like the only dark haired Swede or something. She was a big bitch.

Hawk, you come up with anything else? It's personal. I am curious as to the main motivators of acquistions, revolts etc. for the leaders and also does the idea of "ruling" the country afterwards have some effects on battle plans.

Or, who wasn't a very good leader but chose good generals. There seems to be one that sticks out in my mind but I can't put a name to it.

I'm just looking for somethings to lookup and read up on

Not yet. I'll try to think about it more over the weekend.
