I understand the reasons why some of you are furious over the U.S. invasion
on Iraq. But least to say, that most of you seem to miss the big picture.
That is, the failure of the United Nations, including the U.S, Britain and
other "coercion of the willing" nations that have joined forces to kick out
Saddam Hussein.

Men Inspectors, hired by the United Nations, have been searching for weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq for 12 years without no fruitful results.

One big question that keeps lingering on my mind is why the United Nations
cannot fire all the men inspectors and hire WOMEN inspectors. Women are very
good at finding things. Women are housewives; they know where to find hidden
things. Why the U.N did not give women the chance to search Saddam Hussein's
palaces? Is this an act of discrimination against women or what?

I bet, if women were given a chance to search for "Saddam's hidden weapons
of mass destruction", by now, we would have had another story, instead of
war. That is, if Hans Blix is replaced by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf or Vera
Crowell or Adelaide Fiske, then we would have discovered the truth by now.

RETHINK UN, RETHINK BUSH, RETHINK BLAIR, RETHINK ANNAN! Stop the war and
let's give women the chance too to find the hidden stuff in Bagdad.

We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is ripe to do right.
