Re: Sarah Palin in India
Go look at actual videos of Sarah Palin genius. She is actually a lot dumber in person.
I did want to respond however to your stupid comparison between Musharaf and Palin.
Musharaf: President of a Muslim majority country of 160 Million, at the center of Global politics. Has extensive dealings with the US, Nato, CIA etc etc etc. Intimately involved with negotiations direct and indirect with India. Hence, immense insight on regional and global politics, in so far as the war on terrorism is concerned, and his govts dealing with India .
Sarrah Palin: Unheard of (prior to 2008) former Governor of Alaska. Failed vice Presidential Candidate, current reality tv star, who's (as according to her) only experience in Global politics, is defined solely by her geographic proximity to Russia. Thought Africa was a country, has been deemed to be lacking in knowledge not only of World issues, and history, but also domestic US issues, and US history. Thats it.
So who is more relevant to Indians? The then President of Pakistan, or the formerly unheard know nothing Governor of Alaska?
Lets see you shine.
Okay Einstein, lets start with your last point first - as far as relevance goes, Palin has a theoretical shot at being the next President of the US, Musharraf is a "has been". Mush might have been relevant a few years ago, but not today.
The IT conclave invites speakers from a wide diaspora to talk on different subjects. Palin's talk will be about her "vision of America". I don't see anything wrong in a potential future presidential candidate being invited to speak about her vision for her country. If you had bothered to research before opening your mouth, you might have known that she is not the only speaker being invited. Among others - Fatima Bhutto, Narendra Modi, SA Geelani & Aitzaz Ahsan have been invited. All controversial figures with their share of supporters and detractors.
