<dd><pre>After much diatribe about Sarah Palin's lack of foreign policy
<dd>experience, it occurred to me that many must be overlooking the fact
<dd>that Gov. Palin is Governor of the only state separated from the
<dd>mainland by a foreign country.
<dd>Hmm, the ranters must have failed world geography, assume that Alaska
<dd>and Canadian officials never talk or both.
<dd>Wonder how she ever managed to make progress on the gas pipeline
<dd>(which would cross sovereign Canadian territory).
<dd>It is also interesting to realize that Gov Palin's state is only 58
<dd>miles across the Bering Strait from Russian territory. I suppose she
<dd>never has to think about that as she wanders through her daily
<dd>"governor" routine. Wonder if the feds ever talk to
her about that
<dd>issue - wonder if the Georgia conflict has any impact on her
thoughts?
<dd>She is closer to "potentially hostile" foreign relations
than any
<dd>governor in the US - followed closely by AZ, TX, NM, CA
<dd>Guess she would never have to ponder the stakes associated with our
<dd>huge energy deposits only 58 miles from Russia. Yeah, right -
she is
<dd>never brought up to date on those types of relations.
