Romney: The Arab Spring is a revolutionary wave of protests that have spread through some of the Middle Eastern countries. Romney wants to send more arms to Syria to support the opposition rebels. Romney also wants to have a strong internationalist role for the United States, to take a more active role in shaping developments in the wake of the Arab Spring. Romney thinks that the US cannot be neutral about the outcome, this is because he is going to support the country which is most beneficial to the US. As a major difference with Obama, Romney will never unilaterally create preconditions for peace talks.
Obama: President Obama recognizes that the Middle East cannot be monitored only militarily, and wants to make sure that countries that the United States is assisting are supporting our counterterrorism efforts, and wants to make sure that they are standing by our interests in Israel's security. He also wants to use military force to protect religious minorities and women because he believes that these countries can't develop unless all the population is developing. He also wants to financially assist these select countries in order to develop their economy, however he acknowledges that the United States cannot continue to do nation building in these regions. President Obama would like to slowly deteriorate the funds that go to these foreign nations, and use the money to help the United States economy
