Zakaria: A 'red line' for U.S. but not Israel?

Maybe this op-ed was copy-pasted by Zakaria's interns; nevertheless, it's worth reading.  Here's the key point: Netanyahu's hypocrisy:

Notice that while Netanyahu assails Obama for refusing to draw a clear line, he himself has not drawn such a line. Israel has not specified an activity or enrichment level it would consider a casus belli.The reason is obvious: Doing so would restrict Israel’s options and signal its actions and timetable to Iran. If it doesn’t make sense for Israel to do this, why would it make sense for the United States?
