On September 4, 2012 in The New York Times an article was published titled, "Syrian Children Offer Glimpse Of a Future Of Reprisals".  As though the slaughtering of civilians is not enough the children caught up in the middle of their country's war have learned, apparently, more about how to hate than to survive.  One child was quoted as saying, "We are going to kill them with our knives, just like they kill us."  This is said while children and adults stand by nodding their heads in agreement.  This child is 11 years old and has learned to hate ALL Alawites and Shiites because they are of the same minority offshoot of Shiite Islam as President Assad.  It's not surprising that they would be angry, afraid, traumatized or even distrustful but these children are being encouraged to hate others in a way that makes you wonder if NO ONE in that country gets that there will never be an end to the senseless murdering as long as that mentality exists!  I know it's not that simple nor have I any idea of what it is like to live that way.....however, hate breeds hate.....how is that mentality any better than the ones of those who would seek them out and murder them.  Does it end, ever?
