"Sarah
Palin did a fine job bolstering her foreign-policy credentials in a
speech in New Delhi this month," Wall Street Journal Political Diary
column Abheek Bhattacharya wrote in today's article headlined "Sarah Stateswoman," as he synopsized her speech and question answer session delivered at the India Today 2011 Conclave, March 19.
In his synopsis, Bhattacharya touched upon Gov. Palin's positions on
domestic energy development and free markets, and how India faces
similar problems to the United States in developing its energy sources.
"The past 20 years may have seen some of the country's entrepreneurial
energies getting tapped, but a web of regulations keeps its natural
resources untapped. Besides hindering expansion in a number of
infrastructure sectors, these regulations -- many in the name of
environmentalism -- enable cronyism, as rent-seeking bureaucrats skew
the playing field to favor a few businesses. They also leave India at
the mercy of foreign energy sources."
