[Peace-discuss] Mike Gravel on Palin

[Matt Reichel]

Interesting piece by former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel on McCain's running mate, Mrs Sarah Palin.
 
Echoing the words of Alex Cockburn previously posted on this list, far from being "cooky", he says: "Foreign policy experience? Thank god she has none beyond that of a normal citizen subject to the militarization of our culture over the past 50 years, particularly so in Alaska with its strong military presence. The three other would-be leaders have tons of experience among them. But whether liberal or conservative all three are committed to a policy of American imperialism with the self-appointed role of world policeman. This role of trying to influence the world with our military might sustains bloated defense budgets that profit the few and impoverish the social and economic needs of the many."
 
"Sarah Palin's Clean Slate: Thank God, She Has No Foreign Policy Experience!"
