She is currently the Gov of Alaska. A VP candidate should not have any reason to speak with heads of state, unless of course their current position requires or allows for it. Senators Obama, Biden and McCain can all do so due to their current positions, but has a Gov of Alaska ever met with an Afganistan head of state? I would guess no because there is no reason to meet with them. I would be surprised if Hamid Karzai chose to interject his Government into the US presidential race. This meeting is clearly politically motivated and would not serve either government well.</description></item><item><title>Palin requests meeting with Karzai</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/19/1426577.aspx#1427102</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:44:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1427102</guid><dc:creator>fred, marin, WI</dc:creator><description>Sarah who?</description></item><item><title>Palin requests meeting with Karzai</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/19/1426577.aspx#1427103</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:44:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1427103</guid><dc:creator>CiscoBill</dc:creator><description>She sees Russia from her house and when she turns RIGHT she sees the North Pole and Santa Clause.</description></item><item><title>Palin requests meeting with Karzai</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/19/1426577.aspx#1427107</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:45:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1427107</guid><dc:creator>Your 15 Minutes Are Up</dc:creator><description>Bawhahahahahahaha!
