It was the renewal of MFN status under B. C. that really opened the floodgates. This meant that this wasn't just a temporary experiment of "our" goverment. It allowed permenanent investment in shipping facilities, long-term contracts, etc. Once these are in place it becomes much more difficult to reverse the situation, because people will have spent money up front.

In your state and mine, the person to blame for a car wreck is the driver with the "last clear chance" of avoiding the accident, not the person who caused the accident. In this way, if someone else does something wrong and you have an opportunity to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident, and fail to do so, you'll be the one charged.
