While at a local playground today (I’m really trying to get into the habit of taking Alyssa to the playground at least once a week, since there isn’t much to do around the house besides ride her tricycle or play with her ball and bubbles), I overheard two boys, who looked to be around the age of 9 – 11, playing with one another.
I don’t know why, but it bugged me that they were acting out a war – these two boys were soldiers on America’s side, and their friend, who came along little later, was the “rug head terrorist”.
On a related note, I do not approve of the war in Iraq. I never have, and I never will. We need to look to and take care of our own first.

Regardless of my or your opinion of this war, someone is teaching those children ignorance andn that’s a damned shame.
