Everyday, they had to love in the fear that their beloved family members might be blasted by the landmines hiden somewhere. Now, what worries more is that their kids who lived in such an environment of horror would become ' a generation of violence". Recently, there is a common phenomenon that many kids in Bagdad liked " playing guns." Even many 11-12 girls are keen on " fighting games" . A merchant said that :"if kids like playing gun, they will become bellicose ." This man's simple words reflect Iraqi's desire for peace. Hopefully, revenge will not be passed down from generation to generation.

" West, I liked playing war games in my childhood too. You are right for saying that " the worry is will they become terrorists later?." That is also the kids' parents' worry since they don't hope their kids become terrrorists after grown-up.
