Fix this textALL WARS ARE FOUGHT AGAINST CHILDREN
Fix this textIT is in the nature of things that children can never win a war—
Fix this textand it is the nature of things that all wars are waged against
Fix this textchildren. Some weapons are aimed at them directly—and
Fix this textchildren lose their lives, their eyesight, their arms and legs and
Fix this textmental faculties, just as if they were soldiers. These are only some
Fix this textof the victims, for, finally, every weapon has the same target. The
Fix this textmere existence of a tank or a gun means there are fewer hoes and
Fix this textscythes and tractors—less food for the children. Even before the
Fix this textguns start firing the arithmetic of war deprives the children of their
Fix this textnatural providers, the fathers who till the fields, build the homes and
Fix this textget the fuel to keep them warm. When the shooting is over, it is
Fix this textnot the dead who count their dead, for it is the children who reckon
Fix this texttheir losses, and finally pay the tragic reckoning for all the wars.
