The calendar lists today as UN Day, commemorating and celebrating the day the UN Charter that began the international organization in 1945.
This day makes me very sad.
I have always been intrigued by politics, foreign relations, and the like. I sat on Model Congresses, mock juries, visited heritage sites. I loved the United Nations; the name alone said it all – nations across the world united. Unfortunately, in the last three years, the veil has slipped to reveal a bloated, overgrown, hypocritical, and sadly racist organization.
