So let me make sure I understand you. Romney TALKING about Iran, that is to say talking about a nation with leadership that LOVES to talk about war and make threats, is poking a hornet's nest? No. That's part of politics. Always has been.
You're also missing the point entirely. IF things pop off in that region, it's not going to be just Romney and Co that get involved, most of the western world is going to get involved. Whatever Romney would do in regards to that situation, Obama would/will do that same thing, just likely with a little more finesse. He's trying to avoid dealing with the issue of the rising tension in the region at the moment, but if things go tits up he'll very likely, along with every other capable western nation with interests in the region, take action. _ANY_ President would do the same.
