Good examples, Fionn. But in the cases of Indira Ghandi, Golda Meir and, Margaret Thatcher, who was really making the decisions with regard to whether or not to go to war (or otherwise show contempt for human life); the women or their military advisors?

As I admitted before, there certainly are spectacular examples of women who had or have little or no regard for human life. But if we were to talk in percentages, I think we could safely say that almost all wars were and/or are started and executed by men.

Anyway, if they can start them I guess they can stop them too. Right?
