Having women in positions of authority is always a good sign, BUT that doesn't change the fact that many women live in families that don't allow them what the international community considers basic freedoms. What about women like Hamda Al-Thani who are held prisoners by their family when the family disapproves of their choices? The fact that the head of QU is a woman doesn't do Hamda any good, does it?

I'm not sure what you're implying about Madeleine Albright and Judaism?
