How can we teach our children,
There’s value to human life,
When taken by a solider,
It’s not such a sacrifice.
How can we teach our children?
Two wrongs don’t make a right,
When those who’s got the power,
Seem to think it might.
How can we keep our children?
From loosing their sanity,
When all they see around them,
Is inhumanity?
How can we teach our children?
To use their common sense,
When the world is over floating,
With hate and ignorance.
How can we teach our children?
To believe there’ll be a solution,
When there’s no hope to make a mends,
And peace is just illusion.

It is very hard to teach children these things with those things to think about. Thanks for reading me. Your message is read here loud and clear. excellent write!
This was excellent! I listened live to all the speeches by Mr. Bush, and Mr. Powell's presentations at the UN - I also obtained the text from these. My opinion was that it was a lot of repeated rhetoric and old documents (available on the web-proven and reported by CNN to be in large part plagerized) presented as "new evidence" from British Intelligence. With each new presentation, the US justification for war became less credible. If anyone is truly interested in knowing the rationale for my stand, I offer them the following url which addresses all the "issues" raised at the UN and has point by point referenced quotes from US agents and UN inspectors that almost completely contradict what the US White House resident has told us is an imminent threat to our security... (Interests). Inspections and high tech monitoring give Saddam no chance to rebuild a weapons arsenal - aren't inspections and monitoring a better way than war, which will only provoke increased retaliation on the American people?
Excellant work!!!! Teaching our children what it seems we "all" as a whole have not yet learned ourselves...KUDOS!

Excellent. Some take the easy way and don't question the decisions made by politicians.
"We climbed that mountain
And we got so high
Then on the wings of an angel
We took to the sky
Out here on the edge
Love dared us to try
Baby,some people fall,some people fly"
