Randy gave an excellent answer. While you may hear someone use "with" in a passive way, such as "The doctor was faced with a tough decision", it is not as strong as saying "The doctor faced a tough decision".

"Confront" and "face" (forget the "with" in both cases) have similar meanings in this context, but "confront" is stronger. "Confront" implies defiance and hostility, whereas "face" does not. "I will have to face this problem sooner or later". "He was forced to confront the bully".
