It is broken up into six 15 minute segments and will last a total of 90 minutes. It is being moderated by Bob Schieffer, Host of Face the Nation on CBS, who will start off each segment by asking a question relating to foreign policy. Each candidate will have two minutes to answer each question.

The topics chosen by Schieffer include America's role in the world, Our longest war - Afghanistan and Pakistan, Red Lines - Israel and Iran, The Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism - I, The Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism - II, The Rise of China and Tomorrow's World.

This final debate may help undecided voters finally choose who they will vote for on November 6. Meanwhile, others have already decided who they voted for in early ballots.

Many sources said that Romney dominated during the first debate about domestic policy, as Obama seemed to be pretty tame and laid back. However, all of that changed during the historic second presidential debate last week in which both candidates continuously attacked each other and fought hard during the town meeting style discussion

During tonight's debate focusing on foreign policy, there is no doubt that the controversial issue over the attacks in Benghazi, Libya in which four Americans were killed, including ambassador Chris Stevens, will be brought up.
