I'm uncomfortable missing work, so I guess I'd go.

Yeah, this.

It would be super easy then to hit CNN, MSNBC or C-SPAN and denounce the speech completely and call Netanyahu a dangerous neo-con (which he is).

I have to ask, is the term "neo-con" applicable in any sense to a non-American politician?

Yes, in the sense that a former left winger turns conservative (often provoked by a single issue - in Europe typically Islam) and then adjust other positions to become a more coherent Conservative, while being more hawkish on defence, foreing policy and immigration than most tradtional Conservatives.

Using it for Netanyahu makes no sense. He is a generic right winger, not a neo-con.

Number of Times Iran has Attacked Israel: Zero

Not true. Iran operates by proxy - using Hizbollah as a permanent threat to northern Israel and supplying Hamas with rockets.
