I think your statements are extreme. Is Romney more likely to go to war with Iran than Obama? Yes, I believe that. But is there a 100% certainty Romney will go to war with Iran? No, despite your statements that indicate that. The fact is that Romney has been a leader in business and government for a very long time. He has been very successful in both. He has shown himself to be an intelligent, thoughtful, moderate person, despite being dragged to the right in his statements so he could clinch the GOP nomination...and don't forget that Obama was dragged to the left to clinch the Dem nomination, but he's moderate in many ways IMHO. I don't see any indication that Romney is crazy, has cowboy tendencies like Bush Jr, or would take irrational steps. Romney is someone who would look at all the angles and choose the one where the benefits outweigh the costs. Right now, Iran is suffering under economically crippling sanctions. Those sanctions are working and that gives either Obama or Romney enormous negotiating power. The likelihood is high that Romney will use that advantage to extract as much as we can from Iran towards the goal of halting their progress towards a nuclear bomb. The likelihood is high that we will not go to war with Iran.

But the Dems are getting all hysterical over the thought that we might. It's a bit much. Calm down.
