September 11th wasn't a very good day.
Instead
it was the day where the contours of a
nightmare future filled with
fanaticism,
terror and Antrax seemed to take over.
So how can western
values of freedom,
liberty and democracy come back with a
vengeance here
at the start of the century?
Obviously the West have to promote
images
that will captivate the minds of the world
as well as demonstrate
the powers of western beliefs.
Freedom and equal opportunity are some of
these beliefs.
And what more natural than to promote the image
of free
women with the right to pursue the opportunities
in society? After all women
constitutes half
of the general population in the world.
And what better
way than electing leaders
who will personify these beliefs?
Against
the dark ages of the Afghanistani Taliban -
the image of educated,
intelligent and powerful women?
Against oppressive third world
countries
in internal turmoil - the image of a stable society
with equal
opportunity.
Obviously, no single politician will be ideal
for leading
such an agenda. But if the west is lead
by America and the highest post there
is the presidency.
Then, which female candidate can take such a
position
in the foreseeable future?
I can't really see other candidates than Hillary
Clinton
(and I haven't forgottan the inherent arrogance
of her husbands
presidency, plus a million other problems).
So surely, there might be other
candidates
to elect. But combining the possible (in the
foreseeable
future) with the need to push western ideas in
struggle for
the imagination, hearts and minds
of the world - I think Hillary will
eventually become president.
