War effects

This weekend, I was having a look to the weekly magazine “XLSemanal”, which is published with the diary Ideal every Sunday, when some images beat my eyes and a kind of bitter and sad feeling ran through all my body. Images talked by themselves;  they showed  some little defenseless children whose faces mirrored  the terrible pain that they were suffering. I immediatelly stopped  leafing and started to read the article. It was refered to the dramatic and dreadful consequencies of  Irak war.

 According to the magazine, after the Irak war the number of children born in Faluya with any type of disease - cancer,  neurological disorders, heart problems -  has increased in 12%. But why in Faluya? In the article it is established some connection  between the rise of  children’s disorders  and the noxiou fumes and  radiactive substances with  which  Faluya was  bombarded  by American soldiers in revenge for the death of four American workers who had been violently killed by a group of citizens.

What a great injustice!  While adults are spending money on those expensive devices that later they will explode to destroy lives and hope; while adults are trying  to dominate each other with the goal of having the power; while adults are killing each other under the false conviction of being making a better world; while adults are fighting in the name of a God ; while adults are blinded by hatred; while men are playing this kind of macabre game, children die or suffer in silence the terrible effects of  non-sense wars. How long will this madness?
