It is sexist how people focus on Palin as the least qualified member of the two main tickets in this presidential campaign. I mean, she met with Hamid Karzai and if that does not enhances one's foreign policy credentials, nothing is. In fact, I once ate at Karzai's brother restaurant in SF: and I felt more qualified on foreign policy after the eggplant dish. But seriously: the person of the four who has committed the most mistakes and gaffes is John McCain himself: he repeatedly misidentified the sectarian affiliation of Al-Qa`idah, he repeatedly confuses Sunnis and Shi`ites, and he said that Pakistan shares a border with Iraq. But don't you like it how if you stay a senator for a long time in the US, you are considered a foreign policy expert.
