I agree, but then, the question itself is a little degrading to men, so I figured I'd respond in kind.

It's not really a matter of "if". The Falklands was Thatcher's ticket to victory. Megawati ruled the world's largest Muslim nation (if passivity can be considered ruling), I'd say she has blood on her hands.

Maggie's the first example I thought of, too. And Victoria and Elizabeth presided over their share of wars back when British monarchs were just figureheads. And I think Catherine the Great might have been in charge when stuff was going down in the Crimea, but I can't remember exactly.
