I'm worried about this country.

She doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is - this is a basic requirement, in our present world, for any political hopeful, and not only do you need to know what it is, you need to have an opinion because it defines your conception of foreign policy.

For those unfamiliar, the Bush doctrine, in a nutshell states that the USA has the right to treat countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups as terrorists themselves.

It's the basis for us throwing our weight around and bombing countries willy nilly if we can come up with real or fabricated reason to even remotely suggest they might have a terrorist living within their borders. It was used to justify invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and will probably be used on Iran if McSame gets elected.

It's abhorrent.

The fact that Palin didn't know what it is is nothing less than pathetic and verifies that she is completely unqualified to be elected as a national leader.

In addition, when asked by Charles Gibson if she had any insights on Russia, since Alaska was so close to it.

Her response? "Did you know you can actually *see* Russia from Alaska"

That's not an insight. That's a visual.

She said we may have to go to war with Russia. She said it on national television. If these two get into office, we're going to be nothing but a sand lot after the Russian's bomb us off the planet. It's scary. How can they justify this? How? Give me one moral basis upon which they can validate this policy? Just one.
