While both Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are the Republican candidates most known for their strong talk on national security, Mitt Romney painted another picture. Romney would use Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as an example of one of history’s greatest villains to show in his view how dangerous the world has become.
He said that in the run prelude to World War II, the appeasers believed that the press releases by Hitler said he wanted to unite the German-speaking peoples and not enact genocide.
“The consequences of that accommodation of his press releases was devastating to the entire world, and most devastating to millions of Jews,” he said to function by the Republican Jewish Coalition of Florida.
He added: “Today we have individuals who believe that the cause of the challenges in the Middle East is the conflict in Israel with the Palestinians, and that if somehow we could just have the Baker-Hamilton Commission imposed and we could just settle things between the Palestinians and the Israelis, why everything would be find in the Middle East.”
Romney also ridiculed the belief that the land dispute between both the Israelis and Palestinians is responsible for the root causes of chaos in the region.
“The idea that somehow boundaries between Israel and the Palestinian authority are what’s causing the challenges in the Middle East is patently absurd,” he added.
Romney had made an image for himself being a Washington outsider with fresh ideas that are a result of his years working in the private sector. He also hopes to extend his image into foreign policy as he has been very critical of the bureaucracy of the State Department.
“We simply cannot go on as a nation kicking the ball down the field,” Romney said in regards to foreign policy. He also added: “We simply cannot go on with our foreign policy as disjointed and uncoordinated as it is, even within our nation and around the world.”
