Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has finally given his much ballyhooed speech to the U.S. Congress, and the heavens haven't fallen.
He issued the same bloodcurdling warning that Iran is on the brink of getting nuclear weapons that he has been making for 20 years now, and nobody called him on it. Instead, the Republican members of Congress, and those Democrats who bothered to show up, gave him the usual standing ovations.
U.S. President Barack Obama was deeply miffed by Netanyahu's attack on his policy of negotiating with Iran, and refused to meet him while he was in Washington. Secretary of State John Kerry was so outraged by Netanyahu's assertion that the deal he is working on with Iran could "pave its way to the bomb" rather than block it that he publicly said the Israeli prime minister "might not be correct."
