Bomb Iran? "My foreign policy is simple," said Sen. Tim Scott (R–S.C.) at one point during last night's GOP debate in Miami, at which only four other candidates were present on a slimmed-down debate stage. "You cannot negotiate with evil, you have to destroy it," he said, calling for bombing Iran in order to "cut off the head of the snake…not simply their proxies" and bring an end to conflict in the Middle East.
"You punch them once and you punch them hard, and they will back off," said former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who has more experience on this matter than Scott but remains consistently hawkish.
