Presidential Candidates Don’t See Eye to Eye Over Iran

The next U.S. President will inherit a predicament with catastrophic prospects, if the Iran nuclear crisis is not solved amicably - or even, god refrain, violently - before the U.S. voters find the next occupant of the White House. If it is not solved before the elections, the voters will have to cast their vote based on this issue as well.
But there seems to be no consensus among the Presidential hopefuls over this issue and the ways they plan to deal with the country, which is home to the most deluded, impolitic man in the world - no prizes for guessing - Ahmadinejad.
The Republicans are ready to go to any extent in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, on the other hand, the Democrats find military action too drastic and want to stick with diplomacy and sanctions.
Former New York Mayor Giuliani, former Tennessee Sen. Thompson and former Massachusetts Gov. Romney have spoken of a willingness to take pre-emptive military action against Iran if necessary. Giuliani has been especially vocal, promising a strike if Iran develops a weapon during his presidency. [source]
