So Barrack Obama has talked about the end of red states and blue states. A united America, briefly putting asides its partisan splits so that it could face the huge challenges its confronted with right now – in foreign affairs, the economy, the environment and the global position in the world, which has been severely damaged. Four years of such a combo could be what is needed for the world to learn to trust America again, while the political bickering which blights such an often amazing country from doing the things which even the Chinese can offer the citizens – free healthcare and education for all – would briefly stop as the right and the left realise there is a rather large common ground.

Seriously tho, talk of obliteration of an entire country (the oldest civilisation on the planet, at that) belongs in the bar and not in the seat of power. It is easy to assume - I've often fallen into the trap - that because someone is a woman they will be honest, wise and fair – more so, even, than a man. Power corrupts equally, and some of the most ruthless, heartless and even chauvanist people I’ve met in the world of business have been women.
