“Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel. And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for “the universal brotherhood of man” ‚ with his mouth.” – Mark Twain
Children are the most victimized of all victims, of war. As our world continues to engage in genocide after genocide, and war after war, children are continuously brutalized and killed in the name of greed. While war has been with us from the beginning of time, the victimization of children continues to rise. Our inability to learn from history is costing millions and millions of children their innocence, and their lives. As long as we ignore the atrocities that millions of children face every day, we as a society are all to blame for washing the blood from the hands of those who commit such crimes.
