This is in NO WAY because I feel there is something wrong with a woman leading or because I imagine a woman to be somehow less qualified to lead for no other reason than that she is a woman. It is because I think the rest of the world(certain groups, not all) doesn't feel the same way I do. I think they would view a woman president so much differently than I do that it would complicate international relations with these people and we should be trying to make our relationsihps with them less complicated, not more.
