. How can we help someone in another country when we have not been helping ourselves. The poverty disparity is very high. The rich continue to make money while the poor can barely keep small change in their pocket. After school programs, gym programs, and art programs are being cut all over because there is no money to fund it. In an effort to try to defend our way of life, our educational system is moving backward. This backward movement is depriving the children of the US, who are supposed to be the most privileged. How can we bring one nation to modernity and move into the prehistoric ourselves. I feel like sometimes this war is not about us. I fell like it is a personal disagreement. I feel like we are a neglected child. As a result of cutbacks in schools and a complete lack of attention to children, we have taken away the creativity and fun of our children’s youth. Our children are obese. They are not creative, choosing mindless music and television shows instead of making more cultured choices. Our children, because we have cut the programs that would have normally kept them off the street, have been affected by the allure of violent activities President Bush, please stop the war. Bring our troops home and return these parents to their children. Return the children to the parents. Put American families back together. Put America back together.
