The selection of Alaska’s governor, Sarah Palin, to be the Republican Vice Presidential candidate has created a firestorm in political circles. It demonstrates the speed at which news and opinion proliferate in the electronic world we live in.
Many commentators on the right and left will have their say about Governor Palin. Much pontificating will be voiced about her qualifications or lack thereof for the office.
Perhaps it would be useful to look at some past Vice Presidents, and history, to establish a frame of reference for the discussion.

An Iraqi newspaper reporter recently revealed that most Iraqis believe anyone who is captured by Coalition Forces and sent to Camp Bucca will never be seen again; they are considered dead.
Every month approximately 12,000 Iraqi visitors travel from all over the country to Camp Bucca, the quiet forward operating base along the Kuwait border near the port city of Um Qasr, Iraq’s southern most city.
In addition to the 12,000 visitors that actually walk through the gates of Camp Bucca, another nearly 500 visits between internees and their families happen every month via video teleconference with the facility in Baghdad, Camp Cropper.
