@JTT,
Palin doesn't have foreign policy credentials as Alaska has very poor relations with its neighbor British Columbia, Canada. Alaskan fishermen were fishing in British Columbia waters and a tiff followed resulting in President Clinton sending in federal officials to calm International Relations. Alaska then dreamed up a plan to have an Amtrak line all the way from California to Alaska thru British Columbia territory. Obviously, British Columbia deep-sixed it. Alaska-British Columbia hasn't improved since Palin became Governor.
