PALIN: "Hamid, I know exactly what you're talking about. We have the same problem over here. Fortunately we have mostly good conservative Christians here But we also have mixed in Jews, Mormons, Godless liberals and homosexuals.  (Leaning towards him and dropping her voice) Do you have homosexuals too?"

KARZAI: "Ah, well, I suppose we do. It's not something that gets talked about much in my part of the world."

PALIN: "Oh, Hamid, you are SO lucky. That's all folks seem to want to talk about over here. It's "gay this," gay that,"--- Agh! It's like, soooo annoying. They even want to start marrying each other now. Imagine that will ya! Jesus would have a stroke. At least our homosexuals are into mostly non-violent stuff, like interior decorating instead of guns and high explosives. So that's good at least, don't-chya think?"

KARZAI: "Yes, well....."

PALIN: "So,  do you have lots of oil in your country, Hamid?"

KARZAI: "No. Afghanistan has almost no oil."


PALIN: "Oh, how sad for you. We have lots of oil in Alaska, ya know, but liberials won't let us get at it, something about caribou, polar bears and 'the environment.' Whatever...

But, Hamid, Now I'm confused. If your country has no oil, what's everyone fighting over?"

KARZAI: "Religion mostly. The fundamentalists, the Taliban, controlled the country until the US kicked them out. Now they are trying to regain control. "

PALIN: "The fundamentalists you speak of, are they against abortion?"

KARZAI: "They're against a lot of things. In fact they're against almost everything that's come along since 1200 AD, especially women's rights and science. "

PALIN:  "And you're NOT a fundamentalist, right?"

KARZAI: "Right. I consider myself a religious and political moderate."

PALIN: "But you're a pro-life moderate, right?"

KARZAI: "Well, I'm against killing, if that's what you mean. So that would make me pro-life, I guess."

PALIN: (Frowning) "Okay, but I get the notion when you say you're against killing, you mean you're against killing  full-term humans. What about killing the unborn? Are you against that too?"

KARZAI: "The un-what? ...  (Karzai shoots a puzzled glance to his interpreter.) Ah, Ms. Palin, maybe we should talk about about Pakistan? If you and Sen. McCain are successful in November, what will your policy be towards Pakistan?"

PALIN: "Well, Hamid, (leaning towards him without blinking) I'll tell you -- I'm for it! Our opponent says we should cut and run. But you know what I said; thanks but no thanks on that!"

KARZAI: "Does that mean you will send US forces into Pakistan's tribal regions?"
