Basically Netanyahu wants the USA to help Israel do to Iran exactly what Israel has done to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. No wonder Netanyahu hates this deal. It is the only model in his head regarding what can be done in the ME. All he seems have is a hammer so every hot spot looks like a nail and he might even get the USA to use it's bigger hammer. Since Americans don't get to vote for or against this warmonger I want him to stay completely out of our foreign policy.
I have noticed since 9-11 that torture and illegal treatment of anyone pursued or in custody of American authority figures has become a common if not required dramatic devise in our movies and TV action dramas. If the show's hero is a cop, soldier, spy, prosecutor, politician, etc. I can just wait and by the end of the show they have violated every law, rule, or procedure they work under to get the "bad" guy. Or at least threaten them with execution, beatings, and rape while incarcerated which they obviously deserve. Indeed, such behavior seems to be why most are cast as hero's. They think and behave outside any legal or moral box. Those who work by the rules are usually portrayed as cowardly snitches or ineffective dullards at best. Good luck trying to figure out what is cause and what is effect. To me it seems deeply part of American culture and world view today.
