"Yes, and it doesn't seem to matter what the reasons were," added Sunanda, who was, like the other children, wise beyond her years. "Well, what can we do about it?" asked José. "We're just kids. Who will listen to us? The adults always act like they know everything," Sol said. "But when was the last time a kid started a war?" Jamal asked. "You're right," said Maya, "there's nothing in history about a kid starting a war." "If that's true," Michiko replied, "then maybe kids can get together to bring World Peace! Then people could work together to make life more fair for everyone."
