        Not any man can become a world leader.  The path to becoming a
     world leader is one that definitely favors the ambitious and the
     aggressive over the less ambitious and non-aggressive.  If a world
     ruled by less aggressive people would be more peaceful and if women
     tend to be less aggressive than men then a world ruled by women would
     tend to be more peaceful.  However, this type of thinking is the same
     sort of thing that has resulted in the discrimination issues that are
     so prevalent today.  If a peaceful world is desired then the trait
     we should look for in world leaders is lack of aggressiveness
     regardless of the sex.  I think the female leaders the world has seen
     to date have been no more peaceful than the average leader.  This I
     would attribute to the above stated supposition that what is required
     to become a world leader today is ambition and aggression and if
     women have these traits then they can make it, but the world isn't
     going to be any more peaceful.
