well you got to take into account what type of electoral systems are used in those countries. Lists and proportional representation are naturally going to end up with much more women. Including non-democratic countries is kind of pointless since all parlimentarians there are basically appointed and thus one can easily make almost half women to appear as egalitarian as possible. That's the reason for Rwanda by the way, after Tutsi rebel groups ended the genocide they set up their own government and while it's fairly autocratic and non-democratic it's a hell of a lot better than what the country had before, not that nothing would be.

Anyone seen Hotel Rwanda btw? I just did some rentals and almost got it. How good is it?

there's a better one called "Sometimes in April"

It's very long though.

Damn Belgians.  Actually, the Tutsi were the "bad guys" for 400 years before the White Man showed up.  Still, I agree that the sins of the father should not be held against the son.  They still doing those trials, by the way?  Last I heard about 20 hutu people had actually been convicted and sentenced to prison for genocide.
