Here is a huge example of why I believe Lady Diana is one of the most definitive women of the 20th century. Her work was truly her most successful style. In an age of tabloid bimbos who will remain unmentioned here, it is Princess Diana who will shine for many, many years to come, for all the right reasons. Elegant, lovely, kind, generous, brave, and always so poised. These are qualities worth striving for in our lives. Is there anyone like her these days? I'm wracking my brain to think of one living woman in the public eye today whom I would wish to emulate... Diana will always be heads above the rest.

London, England (BANG) - The cluster bomb - which Britain's late Prince Diana campaigned against so passionately - is to be outlawed. The Princess of Wales fought for the deadly unguided cluster bomb to be banned because of its history of killing children caught up in war zones.
On Friday, the British government announced the cluster bomb is to be scrapped with immediate effect.
Since Diana's death in 1997, the charity set up in her name - the Diana, princess of Wales Memorial Fund - has continued her crusade and today is seen as a victory to her memory.
The ban is one of the rare occasions in which a military decision has been made for political reasons.
Defense Secretary Des Browne says that his decision was taken on humanitarian grounds.
Cluster bombs work by scattering hundreds of mini-bombs over a wide area. Many fail to detonate and pose a lethal threat to civilians, particularly children. Young people playing in war zones where the deadly weapon has been used have lost limbs or their lives, often years after the conflicts have ended.
The princess traveled to these countries to visit the victims of unexploded cluster bombs and campaigned to help them, and ban the use of the bombs.
As of today British military commanders will no longer be able to drop cluster bombs in conflict areas.
