Response; Iraqi Kids Play Make-Believe War Games

I feel that extremely violent games can’t possibly have positive outcomes. With such high percentages of children buying guns and pretending to kill people, the violence will no doubt be translated in some way to the way that they live their daily lives. These children portray things that happen in their everyday lives and that they are forced to witness. If parents allow their children to behave this destructively while "playing"... will they really turn out to be any different when they're not playing? I think it is very sad that some of these kids act out how they have possibly seen people really die. Some of these people could even be relatives of these children. Not only are adults killed by violent warfare, so are children the same ages of those that are playing these violent games. There needs to be a higher regard for human life in the lives of these young people. I feel that it would help the continuingly growing violence and murder in Iraq.
