Maybe it was a good move to have Palin as a candidate - prevents Alaska from breaking away as the Russian states did.
America could give Alaska to the neocons and tell em all to go live there. They could rename the State, Armageddon.

The Falkland Islands/Malvinas might solve problems too. One, it would sort sovereignty difficulties the UK and Argentina.

Two, a permanent solution to THE Middle East problem.
