A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. The bombing
(轰炸)destroyed(毁坏)her home and killed her mother.
Every day we see pictures like this on TVs or in newspapers. We see young Iraqi children begging
for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards
the capital, Baghdad(巴格达). We see these children following grown - ups, carrying bags of things
almost at the same size as their small bodies as they flee their homes in Baghdad.
"Dad, why are the Americans striking(攻击)us? Are we going to be killed?" asks the son of Abu
Sinar, an Iraqi engineer, Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight - year- old son.
He tries to comfort(安慰)him by saying, "The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are
fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right." Even though Abu knows this isn't always the truth.
But what else can he do? In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to make them sleep so
that they won't hear the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed.
"All we can do is to listen to and hear the war," said Abu. "We, all the people and the children,
have to live in fear. We feel hopeless and helpless. We don't know where the next bombs are going.
We can do nothing but wait to be killed. " |
