Beyond the Boehner-Bibi folly: The more serious damange will be to nuclear negotiations with Iran

Beyond all the fallout over the devious arrangements by John Boehner and Benjamin Netanyahu for him to address Congress -- and that really is all the bad stuff that's being said, and worse -- still, don't let's forget what this is really all about, beyond politics.

This is an attempt by both of these politicians to interfere, probably even to scuttle, the delicate negotiations process with Iran over its nuclear development program.   The result is likely to be that Israel will then use the failure of diplomacy as an excuse to bomb Iran's facilities.

And then where will we be?

Here's how progressive blogger digby put it on her blog "Hullabaloo:"
"But the real issue here is that Netanyahu and the Republicans are trying to tank the nuclear negotiations with Iran. Even if they had crossed all their Is and dotted their Ts they'd still be trying to stand in the way of a more peaceful world. That's the problem, not the lack of protocol. And it's a big one."
