FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin left open the option Thursday of waging war with Russia if it were to invade neighboring Georgia and the former Soviet republic were a NATO ally.
We will not repeat a Cold War," Palin said in her first television interview since becoming Republican John McCain's vice presidential running mate two weeks ago.
Palin told Charles Gibson of ABC News that she'd favor including Georgia and Ukraine, both former Soviet republics, in NATO despite opposition by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Asked whether the United States would have to go to war with Russia if it invaded Georgia, and the country was part of NATO, Palin said: "Perhaps so.".............more

War with Russia? Perhaps so?
"We will not repeat a cold war"
That is some pretty scary stuff. Admitting Georgia into NATO could in itself be taken as a declaration of war by an already onery Russian gov't.
I would say she is naive, but maybe she is just parroting McCain's position. Enjoy life now.
