Women have been leading/ruling countries for  a long time.  I am not even going to list any because there are 4 that were some of the most powerful in history and I am not talking about anyone before 1900.  any student of powerful leaders of history would know them.  As far as women not being able to handle it...how many men could say they could handle childbirth without ever having gone through it themselves?  how many men could face the decision of having or not having a child?  how many men can understand what it is to live/breath/birth a live human being? Women are designed to bear pain better...although most men disagree simply because they see only one side. \n\n2) People use the excuse "I would but haven't found one qualified yet"  really?  anyone who has done even the smallest amount of study of US presidents (US Presidents for Dummies, I'm serious) would see the HORRIFYING people that have lived in the White House.  Qualifications DO NOT get you elected to the White house!!!  it is party politics, wedge issues, psychological marketing, campaign themes/strategy.  Women/black/indians/japanese...where would these groups be if change for the sake of change had not occurred\n\n3) in my experience in retail management/college/government  I find women to be just as qualified and experienced leaders.  there is no physical or mental quality to leading that men have and women do not.  Leading is Leading and a person who can, will...and a person who can't...won't.\n\nthe answer to the question now...\n\na lot of men say "can't handle stress," "the islamic countries," "better decision-making," " PMS."  Strom Thurmond believed and actively voted in a segregationist USA...thankfully his vision did not come to pass.  Dred Scott/Plessy v Ferguson.  Men who use the above mentioned quotes use the same attachment to history and tradition(even though history has proven women to be very capable)  They look for excuses why not rather than why and will never truly see the positive side to having a female commander in chief.  They probably have some unresolved issue with women and the idea of subordination to one.\n\nWomen who say no...don't understand it...I'm a guy\n\neveryone else who says yeah...kudos for thinking outside the box and prefering to be on the winning side of history.

While not technically in the Middle East, Pakistan had a female leader in the 90s for a few years.\n\nSaudi Arabia just started allowing elecions at the local level last year and is slowly moving to the modern world as elections take hold.  \n\nIraq has a few female members of its Parliment.  Kuwait also has a growing call for female leaders.\n\nIt will probably take another generation before we see widspread representation of women in official positions in the M.E..  Onless we allow the Whabahhists (sp) to take over, then there will be no women in power.

The area which is now Bangladesh has a rich historical and cultural past, the product of the repeated influx of varied peoples, bringing with them the Dravidian, Indo-Aryan, Mongol-Mughul, Arab, Persian, Turkic, and European cultures. About 1200 A.D., Muslim invaders under Sufi influence, supplanted Hindu and Buddhist dynasties, and converted most of the population of the eastern areas of Bengal to Islam. Since then, Islam has played a crucial role in the region's history and politics. In the 16th century, Bengal was absorbed into the Mughul Empire. \n\nPortuguese traders and missionaries reached Bengal in the latter part of the 15th century. They were followed by representatives of the Dutch, the French, and the British East India Companies. During the 18th and 19th centuries, especially after the defeat of the French in 1757, the British gradually extended their commercial contacts and administrative control beyond Calcutta into the remainder of Bengal and northwesterly up the Ganges River valley. In 1859, the British Crown replaced the East India Company, extending British dominion from Bengal in the east to the Indus River in the west. \n\nIn the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Muslim and Hindu leaders began to press for a greater degree of independence. At the movement's forefront was the largely Hindu Indian National Congress. Growing concern about Hindu domination of the movement led Muslim leaders to form the All-India Muslim League in 1906. In 1913, the League formally adopted the same goal as the Indian National Congress: self-government for India within the British Empire. The Congress and the League were unable, however, to agree on a formula to ensure the protection of Muslim religious, economic, and political rights. Over the next 2 decades, mounting tension between Hindus and Muslims led to a series of bitter intercommunal conflicts. \n\nThe idea of a separate Muslim state emerged in the 1930s. It gained popularity among Indian Muslims after 1936, when the Muslim League suffered a decisive electoral defeat in the first elections under the 1935 constitution. On March 23, 1940, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, leader of the Muslim League, publicly endorsed the "Pakistan Resolution" that called for the creation of an independent state in regions where Muslims were a majority. \n\nAt the end of World War II, the United Kingdom, under considerable international pressure to reduce the size of its overseas empire, moved with increasing urgency to grant India independence. The Congress Party and the Muslim League could not, however, agree on the terms for drafting a constitution or establishing an interim government. In June 1947, the UK declared it would grant full dominion status to two successor states--India and Pakistan. Pakistan would consist of the contiguous Muslim-majority districts of western British India, plus parts of Bengal. The various princely states could freely join either India or Pakistan. These arrangements resulted in a bifurcated Muslim nation separated by more than 1,600 kilometers (1,000 mi.) of Indian territory. West Pakistan comprised four provinces and the capital, Lahore. East Pakistan was formed of a single province. Each province had a legislature. The capital of federal Pakistan was at Islamabad. \n\nPakistan's history for the next 26 years was marked by political instability and economic difficulties. Dominion status was rejected in 1956 in favor of an "Islamic Republic within the Commonwealth." Attempts at civilian political rule failed, and the government imposed martial law between 1958 and 1962 and 1969 and 1972. The government was dominated by Military and Oligarchies all rooted in the West. Significant amount of national revenues went towards developing the West at the expense of the East. The people of the Eastern wing began to feel increasingly dominated and exploited by the West. Frictions between West and East Pakistan culminated in a 1971 army crackdown

Let me assume the Question as: What transport systems and communication infrastructures does Bangladesh have?\n\nAnswer: The following are in order of their usage:\n\n1. Transport:\n\na) Rickshaws are primary transport mode where a tricycle is driven by man and two passengers can seat at the back passenger hold.\n\nb) 2-Stroke and 4-Stroke Scooter/Baby-Taxi: Mechanized 3-wheelers as can be seen in most of the South Asian countries. The good point is most of them has been converted into CNG from Petroil (Petrol-Oil mixed). Thereby, the pollution has reduced drastically in the main towns.\n\nC) 4-Engine Taxis (Petrol and some Diesel) Yellow-Cab and Black-Cab etc:\nThese are on-hire basis and some are air-conditioned (Yellow colored). The Fare Meter in most of these are installed and/or working or non-functional. The cabbies do a lot of haggling for fare even though the Meter-Fare is to be followed as per law.\n\nd) Mini-Bus and Bus: There are inter-city as well as local buses, both A/C and Non-A/C. The A/C buses are comfortable to ride and the fares are pre-determined.\n\ne) Railway: A system is in existence and run by the Government. Yet to come to the standard of Indian Railway in terms of Ticketing, Service and time schedule etc. The most inefficient and white-elephant we the taxpayers are living with, without any much improvement due to strong unionism.\n\nf) Air: There is a private Airline (GMG) operating feebly against another white-elephant goliath Bangladesh Biman. The schedule may change at the 11th hour due to technical, political or some higher-up coming late issues etc. (LOL).\n\ng) River: There are plenty of river transports available in this land of canals, rivers and sea. The journey is more or less comfortable during winter season (starting from November to February). The services are not at par with those of neighboring countries like India, Thailand, and Sri Lanka etc.\n\n\n2. Communication:\nIf you meant transport and communication for similar meaning then above answer may have sufficed. However, for telecommunication, the answer would be like the following:\n\nThere are plenty of Telephone, Mobile/Cell Phone, Fax, Internet, Radio/Satellite phone available if you compare Bangladesh’s progress in other fields of communication. So, once in Bangladesh you won’t miss your home country as you can keep in touch with them very easily.\n\nHope I have answered your question, if not, please send me e-mail and I will try my best to help you.\n\nBest of Luck!

I might agree that most women would prefer a man to lead. I think many women these days feel forced into leadership roles because men have not asserted themselves. I'm not totally convinced that it's the design of nature that causes this. My observation is that it is a cultural thing. Alot of Women still view it as a burden and a temporary  perversion of nature that has placed them in leadership. Once they  have accepted their role as leader, they seem to thrive and often outperform men in similar positions. So I think it's cultural!
