the senate iran letter

Didn't like it.  I think inviting Netanyahu was borderline--he made a good speech and the protocol issue is more complicated than it seems.  But writing to a foreign leader is over the line.   What if Nixon had written to Hanoi in 1968 saying, "Don't negotiate with these chumps, I'm going to be elected in November, I'll settle the thing."   He sort of did this, with his "secret plan," but at least he followed the rules.   This doesn't.

Now, if they threaten to drop Lindsey Graham on Teheran, that's a different story . . .
