Obama
- Foreign Policy seen as negotiating and working with other nations.
- Finishing 2 wars, taking out US troops from Iraq, and setting a date in 2014 to pull out most of the troops in Afghanistan.
- Osama bin Laden raid has strained US relations with Pakistan.
- Raid broke sovereign borders, and killed Pakistani civilians.
- Liberation movements in Egypt, Syria, and Libya has made the policy work with nations to pressure dictators step down.
- Criticized for not supporting Israel enough in Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Romney
- Criticized Obama for the policies he says are weakening the nation and its international standing as well as the view of the US using good force to spread influence in the world.
- Wants to bring an "American Century" where the US "leads a free world and frees the world from leads."
- Although, some of his views are similar to that of Obama's. Main difference is visibility.
- Advocates sanctions, coalitions-building and other diplomatic moves.
- Works with allies to arm the Syrian rebels but did not want US military involvement.
