Susan Rice and Benjamin Netanyahu did not make life better today. Rice, national security adviser to President Obama said that Netanyahu's upcoming speech to the U.S. Congress is "destructive" of U.S.-Israeli relations. Destructive means done, over; she didn't mean that.

Netanyahu said that the nascent agreement with Iran on its nuclear program means "the world powers have given up" on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and have agreed, in effect, to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons in the next few years. “They might accept this but I am not willing to accept this.” Netanyahu does mean that and Netanyahu should do what he thinks the leader of an independent state should do and stop trying to get another country, the U.S., to do his fighting for him.
