Why Obama Is Tougher on Iran Than Romney Could Ever Be [View all]

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/why-obama-is-tougher-on-iran-than-romney-could-ever-be/260404/

The unilateral use of force in the Middle East for a liberal Democrat like Obama is a credential; for a conservative Republican like Romney, it could be an albatross. I argued in a previous column that Romney is more likely than Obama to oversee a revitalized Middle East peace process. That's because conservatives are better positioned to make peace; liberals are generally better positioned to launch preventive strikes at the nuclear programs of rogue nations. We know that U.S. voters, and world leaders, allow Obama extraordinary leeway when it comes to deadly drone strikes, precisely because of his politics, character and background. Romney will get no comparative slack.


An Obama leadership will be great excellent if and when the time comes to go to war with Iran. Obama is well honest, spoken, intelligent, even attractive and with Him at our helm, We will have the world eating out of our hand if Obama is to lead the war against one of the world's most reactionary regimes.
