A UN resolution again isn't going to happen (Russia and China will block), so I think diplomacy will be a very short lived option. Force is unfortunetly the end game for a Romney presidency.
We agree on this one, though I believe Obama will try harder to avoid the war than Romney. But once Israel says they're going whoever the US President is will almost certainly support it militarily.
