In an ordinary year, schools throughout Iraq would have opened for classes on September 20, but this year many in the country are left empty, as schoolchildren are kept at home by the violence that has plagued Iraq's streets.

1. How to say it - war mongers, weapon makers, hate creators -

children don't have a chance.

Presently, the children of our soldeirs can go to school, but how many are going one of their parents to see them off - because they were blown to bits in PNAC land? How many of them left a parent at home who is learning to live without a limb or a good day/bad day immune system?

Imperialistic minded adults are enemies of children.

Is a person judged by the way they care for children? Does denying them stability, a future, hope, the ability to thrive, movement, and basics make them more or less religious?

2. Iraqi kids who were 10 Y-O when this began are killing our soldiers now

Maybe that is why all those newly painted schools are empty?
