There is no definite roadmap in foreign policy esp in the Middle East.

Romney is right we need to influence Syria to get rid of an Iranian client state, and avoid another muslim brotherhood country.

We live in a nasty world, but adults have to face it. The choices in Syria are the Iranian-backed Alawite-dominated Ba'athist regime, and the Muslim Brotherhood dominated opposition. Al Qaeda supports the opposition. A weak Ba'athist Syria with WMDs is better than giving them to Al Qaeda. And the best option is the current one, where the vermin kill each other. Iranian special forces are killing Al Qaeda, and the Ba'athists are killing the Muslim Brotherhood. It drives a wedge between the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran, which is a good thing, if you want to stop an Iranian nuke. If you want to go after Iran, go after Iran.

The Best Way to Stop an Iranian Nuclear Weapon is to let Syria fester
