...
just so you know.
according to cnn.com a bunch of kids graduated from an iraqi kindergarden yesterday. among the quotes by the children:
-"I give a knife to my father to slaughter the chicken. He gives me a machine gun and a rifle. Now, I am a soldier in the liberation army."
-"I'm going to bomb, bomb, bomb the school with everybody in it," said Omar Hussein, as he clutched a pink toy airplane.
-[...]a better future can't come soon enough for a young boy named Shurouq.
"When I hear the bombs, I'm afraid," he says. "I close my ears."
The school's headmistress, Suhailah Ibrahim, says they try to reduce the stress level for the children as much as they can. When bombs go off or shots ring out, she says, "We usually tell them the explosions are far away from us."
Most of all, she says, they just want to "live like before."
"We want an end to the occupation," she says.
it's a good thing our occupation has been a positive influence on the youth of an entire nation. the sad part is this war will be the catalyst for a hatred in that country for the american people that will not be gone by the end of my life.
i really hope you're all paying attention...because this will blow up in our faces eventually and it'll be all of our faults...all of us.
