I am a sixth-grader at Hawthorne Scholastic Academy, and I know what I think won`t make much of a difference, but I think the Middle East crisis can be resolved without war. I also think I understand the pressure President Bush must have, but please think about all the innocent people that would be killed.

People`s families are being torn apart for a reason that could be resolved without war. Everyone always says ”Violence can`t solve anything.” Why can`t Mr. Bush see that?

There are people in the war that had dreams and were succeeding in them until this crisis.

Mr. President, put yourself in the position of a troop member and ask yourself, ”Will I die?”
