Geena Davis, as the first woman President, is doing some cultural carpet bombing for the notion that a woman could be President of this country.

Whether the motive was lofty ethical principles, fear of public opinion, or simple expediency--and of course contingent on independently confirmed figures as to exact numbers--this stands in striking contrast to the carpet bombing during the Vietnam War, the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, or the firebombing of such civilian centers as Wurzburg during World War II. |
