On March 3, Washington witnessed political theater at its most distasteful. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came not to praise President Barack Obama but to bury a nuclear deal with Iran.

The rest of the world shook its head in collective disbelief. History is littered with the corpses of those who were too clever by half for their own good.
