I AM 11 years old and over the past year, since September 11, I have seen how badly war and terrorism has affected people around the world.

In my own experience I know that sometimes you should not fight back, you should find another way to solve the problem, such as compromise.

India, Pakistan, Afganistan, America and now Britain has come into it.I don't know why we have come into war, because we could start a third world war.

I just hope war would end to benefit everyone.
