Okay, this is where I get jealous!!!
Sarah Palin (you know…the pit bull that associates herself with hockey-moms..<- TYPO!…*snicker*) will be getting a meeting with Henry Kissinger, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh this week.
I don’t honestly know where to begin.
Let me start with this…I am utterly positive I would be more damn productive in meetings with these leaders.
Kissinger first, because he is THE guy. He’s like a living Confucius. Known to have one of the most eloquent and heavy hitting vocabularies, combined with rubbing shoulders with almost very world leader in the last half century. If you needed to to mentally prepare for arguments, debates, and conversations with the above list of leaders, Kissinger will always be on your top five most wanted advisers. The meeting with Kissing is a BOLD and very strong move. Kissinger is a liberal Republican, and could possibly be the foundation for all liberal republicans (sounds weird saying that). Anyhow, this guy is more likely to save the world than most presidents, and is documented historically as a peacemaker.
The leaders appearing following her meeting with Kissinger are at the center of a significant amount of political and humanitarian turbulence in the world. I am honestly not sure that woman is mentally prepared for meeting a group of men, of whom almost every one come from societies in the midst of socio-political upheaval…no small part of which is centered around feminist and religious (r)evolution. Add to this the fact that she is a US governor with zero experience in foreign relations. I am almost positive she’s going to have them autograph something.
I may start griping more…but for now…for your reading enjoyment:
