(source: http://archive.ontheissues.org/Sarah_Palin.htm) on foreign policy: Q: Did you ever travel outside the country prior to your trip to Kuwait and Germany last year?

A: Canada, Mexico, and then, yes, that trip [Kuwait/Germany], that was the trip of a lifetime to visit our troops in Kuwait and stop and visit our injured soldiers in Germany That was the trip of a lifetime and it changed my life.

Q: Have you ever met a foreign head of state?

A: I have not and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you. But, again, we've got to remember what the desire is in this nation at this time. It is for no more politics as usual and somebody's big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes, they've had opportunities to meet heads of state.
