Daily struggles

The United States is being scolded by Saudi Arabia's news outlets for what the United States government is doing to undocumented children. This is the country that just let women drive. That finally publicly supported their female athletes in the Olympics. Women are still under men's control under the kingdom guardianship law. People are legally beheaded with a sword as the main form of execution. People are occasionally legally stoned to death as another form of execution. This is the country that we are being scolded by for human rights violations. I am so ashamed of my country. I thought we would have learned from slavery. I thought we would have learned from Japanese internment camps. I thought we would have learned from fighting Nazis. I thought we would have learned from the Geneva conference. I thought we would have learned from Nagasaki. How many times do we have to do repeat the same mistakes?
