SEOUL — Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin took aim Tuesday at the political elite in the United States, Europe and China, as she brought her criticisms of big government and "crony capitalism" to South Korea.
Days after announcing she would not run for president in 2012, Palin said there "will be a woman president of the United States of America, and I look forward to that day", but did not elaborate on why she did not enter the race.
The 2008 vice-presidential candidate told supporters last week she could help the Republican cause more by working to elect others.
In a wide-ranging speech to a forum in Seoul, the conservative commentator accused China of seeking to use its military influence in regional disputes and said she looked forward to the ousting of North Korea's regime.
Palin cited the Arab Spring as proof that new information technology was playing an "enormous role" in spreading cries for freedom.
"Technology means individuals have been empowered in ways they have never been empowered before in our entire history," she told the World Knowledge Forum hosted by Maeil Business Newspaper....

That's because she is worth it.
You must be one of those anti-capitalist hippies like in New York who think making money is evil, huh? Tell me, how do you pay for your mortgage/rent, utilities, food, car, gas, etc?
“Days after announcing she would not run for president in 2012, Palin said there “will be a woman president of the United States of America, and I look forward to that day”, but did not elaborate on why she did not enter the race. “
I look forward to the day when America elects a conservative president of the United States of America.
I'd like to see her upstage Madame Sec'y to the max on the scene abroad.
You may leave by the back door now.
exactly.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said she “looks forward to regime change” in North Korea while calling on South Korea to help the North when its regime is finally ousted.
“Being under the thumb of a dictator, the first victims of his regime are his own people,” said Palin during a keynote address at the 12th World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, Tuesday.
Palin, who was the vice presidential nominee of the Republican Party in 2008, made the comment in a Q&A session with Ritz Kahn of Al Jazeera English immediately after her speech.
The theme of this year’s forum is “The New Economic Crisis: Reforming Global Leadership & Asia’s Challenge.”
Regarding Palin’s remark, the Seoul government showed a cautious response.
Jo Byoung-jae, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said flatly “regime change is not a policy goal or the objective of this government.”
He said he is not criticizing Palin or her statement, but just stating as clearly as possible what the North Korea policy of Seoul is, adding, “I think it is safe to say that it is also not the policy goal of the U.S. government either.”
Palin’s statement drew attention as it came at a particularly precarious time for South and North Korean relations amid lingering tension on the Korean Peninsula.

Please explain to us your background in foreign policy and international relations and what you base your assumptions on. As someone who spent two tours in Korea as an intelligence analyst at the division and field army headquarters level, I disagree.

“What an attention whore.
Your 15 minutes are up, Sarah. You bailed, remember?”
You know what’s scary? That was pretty much word-for-word what I was going to post.
To be fair, however, I’m sure this speech was set up long before she announced that she wasn’t going to be a candidate.
Thanks, deport. That is somewhat troublesome. I didn’t take it as an outright call for regime change as a policy matter. She said she looks forward to it. That could be taken numerous ways. It probably wasn’t the best way to express her hopes that the NK regime is eventually ousted.
So both of you hope for many more years of brutal Stalinist dictatorship, starvation and repression for the people living in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea? Or do you agree with Governor Sarah Palin? Those are the two choices.
Where on earth did you get such an idea? Of course I don’t hope for that.
Sounds like she supports what had been going on in Egypt and Libya.
I would tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.
It is you that is the attention whore.
There is absolutely no intelligent reason to insult and continue to bash Palin.... unless of course you are a lowlife lib, a worthless PDSer or an Obama supporting Troll.
OR, just another stupid “attention whore”.
Perhaps you’re one of those, “all of the above”.
Did you expect her to pussyfoot around on the issue like a Jon Huntsman, Milt Romney or Madeline Albright would?
