WOMEN POWER
..The key to economic development, especially in developing countries may lie with women in society. Thus reports UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in a conference with Arab leaders regarding women's issues. This could be the missing link to help developing countries improve economically especially in the Middle East where women are still relegated to second status. I can't imagine going back to a world where women don't play a crucial role in society other than staying home and raising kids. The world is infinitely better with more women being involved in all areas of society as men are. I suspect the world will have less war and conflict if more women were heads of states and countries.
