This word means for me fear that your house can be ruined with the bomb which terrorist placed in its basement… I've remembered this feelings since 1999 when  too many people died sleepping in their flats in Moscow.

I have to say I have no experience with war I only know what the grandparents  said me abou WW2 and about fear they had…. 

I think the war is the the most horrible thing in the history of  humanity….

Yes, I heard a lot about WW2… It was terrible. I've seen bones of soldier on the ground and blind shells… This is a great memory not to repeat so awful mistakes.

well, my country was in a war not so long ago. I'm from bosnia and the war lasted from 1992-1995. I was just a kid then, and I don't remember much. But feeling helpless and hungry is what I recall the most. Men with guns entering your house and searching for who knows what is not the greatest feeling you can have. Waiting for your father to come back from the front line is a scary thing, too. You never know if he's  going to come back.

    "Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race." Beautiful song! War is cruel and inhumane to me. It's too bloody for kids to bear. When would wars go tho their ends?
