Response to "Iraqi Kids Play Make-Believe War Games"

I agree that children, not even just Iraqi children, who are introduced to violence at such a young age are more likely to grow up being violent. The silly games that are played and the toys that are sold now-a-days make it seem like it's almost okay for this to be happening, but parents then reprimand the children for playing such make-believe games. But it's not make-believe for these Iraqi children. It's reality. And despite that they think it's a game, they also realize at the same time that what they play around with is also what is happening around them and they know that it could really happen to them. I think in order to make this stop, toy stores need to stop producing and selling play weapons and concentrate on the more important things that a child should be doing at such a young age. To me it's common sense, but apparently to others it's a big issue to do so.
