Know Hope

And one more reaction by Sullivan (I guess you can tell I like his mind and writing):

I see this prize as an endorsement of his extraordinary reorientation of
world politics, and as an encouragement to see it through. In the midst of our
domestic battles, and their ill-temper (from which I have not been immune
lately), this is an attempt to tell us: look up for a moment, see how far we've
come in pivoting away from global conflict, and give this man a break for his
efforts and the massive burden he now bears.
And, in the darkness that still
threatens, know hope.
