Huffingtonpost Post wonders if this is the beginning of a new international diplomacy.

On a lighter side, you wish if the world has more beautiful and se-xy ladies like German chancellor. Then you wonder, at the top, be it in corporate or politics, if the world is too much tilted around men and not women. May be a next ad series from Benetton.
