Trudy Rubin is incensed at the GOP candidates, and Romney in particular, for talking nonsense on foreign affairs:
[A] lack of seriousness runs through every aspect of Romney's foreign-policy posture. On Afghanistan, he's backed off from an earlier pledge to bring troops home soon and now talks of a "full review" of our policy. Do we really have time for – or need – yet another full review? On the Middle East, he ignores failed peace talks but promises to focus aid and diplomatic efforts, even as Republicans slash the State Department budget. And on Iran, Romney talks tough – saying an Iran with nukes is "unacceptable" – but he doesn't say how he'd act differently than Obama. Perhaps that's merciful, because other Republicans (including the normally level-headed Huntsman) are talking of military strikes against Tehran.
