Today I was reading the newspaper and there was a photograph
of a small boy in a political demonstration in Egypt. He couldn't have been more than six. He was sitting on someone's shoulders,
dressed in camouflage,wearing a headband and holding a toy
machine gun over his head. He looked like a perfect little terrorist
in training,right up to the angry look he was giving the photographer
while the picture was being taken.
Obviously he's being indoctrinated at an early age.I can picture that boy in 20 years planting a bomb somewhere. In a part of the
world where some children are taught it's good to hate and kill people because of where they come from,is there any real hope for a lasting peace? How can that be done in a region where such hatred is nurtured in young children right up until they reach adulthood?
