  I applaud these women for their work and courage. I would like to point out that we use the term "post 9/11 World" to talk about a turning point globally. However, many places around the World have been having their own 9/11 for a long time. We do not have a patent on suffering. And in order to address real security we need to recognize the terrorism within disease, lack of health care, climate change, and all the other actual threats all over the World that claim more lives than the terrorism we hear and see in our media.

  The argument that women will "wimp out" is so unfounded and yet, so exhausted in recent decades...

  If anything, a mothering tendency in leadership is to seriously weight the risk/value of sending one's citizens to war. Not at all present in our own current administration's tendency to toss more young people into the fight-pit without pause.

  Is there any discussion in the summit concerning "honor" killings of women, which apparently follow women even as they emigrate to other countries in an attempt to preserve their lives and the lives of their children.

  Re writers commenting after the fact - An episode of Law and Order had a woman Assistant Distric Attorney say in her final episode that the reason she was fired (in her capacity on the program, not in real life) was that she was a lesbian.

  This was completely gratuitous. Nothing in the previous episodes hinted at such.

  We should expand this discussion beyond the stated benefits of gender leadership and highlight what every individual can contribute to creating World Peace. Rearranging the gender of leadership may be a step in the right direction but the world needs a certain threshold of Peace Promoting individuals to secure invincibility.

  Brian, there is a scientifically proven solution you can research and report to the listeners. Your no stranger to this approach. www.permanentpeace.com
