ماذا يمكن ان تفعل الحرب بنا , ماذا يمكن ان تقتل تلك الحرب فينا, فالحرب قتلت براءة طفلين جعلت منهم شخصان او لا يوجد لديهم فرق بين الخطأ والصواب , لا شئ له قيمة عندهم لا يحزنون أو يبكون على شئ او على فراق شخص , لا يؤمنون بالدين , لا يفرق معهم أى لغة ولا انتماء لأى جانب لا يهتموا بشئ إلا بما ينقذهم ويج...
