Staffing a historical committee at PMUNC, Princeton’s high school Model United Nations tournament, this past weekend, I inevitably got asked some pretty weird questions by the delegates of my 14-person Berlin Conference simulation.
It’s been discussed and debated countless times within the past few decades. This very newspaper has published an ample amount of editorials concerning it.
