Romney overhypes Libya attack in foreign policy speech
Romney uses a Virginia Military Institute speech to push for tougher global leadership by citing the Libya attack and tying it to 9/11 and World War II. He portrays the Middle East as a simple democracy versus despotism clash, ignores Arab Spring complexities, and risks alienating Gulf allies while acknowledging no clear path to stable democracy.
