SHOULD HAVE JUST GOT SADDAM HUSSEIN

WE SHOULDN'T have been fighting this war, because on both sides loved ones have died. Peace and life are very important to everyone.

We've been fighting for peace in Kuwait, but there's only one who wanted to fight, so why didn't we just get him? Saddam Hussein should have a chance to live, but he shouldn't have a chance to make others die for his living and for his selfishness.

It's too bad we couldn't have stopped him instead of using so many thousands of bullets and bombs. Adults are always telling us "kids" that we shouldn't fuss, fight and argue; but here they were fighting a war over one person's selfishness. Things should have been handled a different way.
