White House: Netanyahu, Obama To Meet In Washington On March 5

But somehow, I don't think the guy ordering hits all over the globe is going to be too harsh on Mr. Netanyahu if Israel really wants to get the action going with Iran. And what's the counterargument? "It's okay for us to snuff folks by remote control, even when we don't know who we're killing, but you have to rein in your militaristic impulses no matter how good a case you can build for feeling threatened." I don't think Netanyahu will regard that as much of a deterrent. He also surely knows that he can rally a hard nut of unquestioning support for any military action Israel undertakes from hardline Israeli supporters in the Jewish community, bloodthirsty fundamentalists itching for Armageddon, and cynical politicians looking to score political points. Nobody in the popular media will dare question it, either.
