I’ve been a fan of Mitt Romney’s since he barred state police and wouldn’t allow any interruption of normal traffic flow for former Iranian leader Katami’s visit to Harvard.
Also Mitt asked the most salient question in the 3rd debate:
“For that to happen, we’re going to have to not just attack each one of these problems one by one, but say, how do we help move the world of Islam so that the moderate Muslims can reject the extreme?”
I haven’t heard any political leader ask that question. And it’s a visionary question filled with hope and optimism that is rare in politics regarding Middle East/foreign affairs.
Also Mitt said this at the debate:
“I watched the Democrats… … they don’t think there’s a war on terror. There’s a war going on, and we need a broad response to make sure that these people have a different vision.”
I think this statement is akin to Reagan’s “tear down that wall” sentiment. Again a very hopeful outlook, a key ingredient to getting anything done in the world.
