Part of this has to do with Obama, who came like a healing balm to soothe our collective hurt. Entering from stage left, the secular savior trounced a “maverick” opposition with his calming rhetoric and confident stoicism.

Washington ultimately dropped those sanctions in lieu of a diplomatic effort to entice North...
