To the Editor:

  Whatever the Mullahs' agenda--and no one should be fool enough to think that they're playing only one game at a time--they have telegraphed strenuously that they will no longer underwrite Israeli militarism. For too long, Ahmadinejad and Netanyahu each justified his own saber-rattling by appeal to the other's wild rhetoric.

   But Ahmadinejad is gone. And Bibi looks increasingly like history has passed him by. Rouhani and Abbas are scoring all the rhetorical points and most of the international sympathy as Bibi keeps fighting a battle that's long over.
