Katie Couric: What lessons have you learned from Iraq, and how, specifically, would you spread democracy abroad?
Gov. Sarah Palin: Specifically, we would make every effort possible to spread democracy abroad to those who want it!
Katie Couric: Yes, but... specifically, what would you do?
Gov. Sarah Palin: We're gonna promote freedom, usher in democratic values and ideals, and fight terror-loving terrorists.
