IRAQI KIDS PLAY MAKE-BELIEVE WAR GAMES

It surprised me how even the teacher/mother was able to accept the fact that the war games were normal for the children. It's scary to think that a country would make it acceptable for young children to participate in such games, and that parents are allowing it, but I guess it is not that different then the United States. The only video games kids like are the war like ones, and games involving shooting. The problem in Iraqi is one that we can also share in some ways in our own country. It is just a scary thing to think about that these terrorist groups are having children training at such a young age. I find it also weird that the kids find it fun to "kill" their friends. The whole article was just kind of eye opening to read.
