Very good comment thanks. I believe we tend to be too provincial in our thinking, too restricted to a concept of “nations” and not sufficiently concerned with overall human rights. The history and current practices of all nations are not without sin. As someone said about casting the first stone…I have some skin in the game too with an ancestry of WASPY famous (or sometimes infamous) politicos and related rabble rousers with a sprinkling of Native American leaders and nobody’s too. I am relegated in this lifetime to being an American. I have two grandchildren living epic lives here who were born in the Ukraine. We all descend from a motley crew but we are not defined by this alone. We are all capable of being and becoming better human beings. That is our evolutionary task.
