Blood Diamonds


"I'm so glad I met you."
I'll never forget you, my love.

You will live within the thoughts
living in my heart, forever.

Forever, my love.
Forever, my love.

There are 200,000
child soldiers
in Africa.

You know I watched on Entertainment news about the Diamonds that fund war, weapons and murder just a few days ago, and to my ignorance I would have never thought such a thing. Thanks for the late night read.

it's beautiful James

children are cheap cannon fodder all over
the world
more than 300,000 children under 18 are fighting as soldiers with government armed forces and rebel groups in 41 countries worldwide and thousands more stand ready for combat in 87 countries

Thank you trutodaraider, The Lady and Roneice for the nice responses...
The methods of recruitment, indoctrination and uses for child soldiers cleary shown in the movie "Blood Diamonds."  James
