Do you ever wonder how people that are in war at different countries are getting along? There are many people in the United States from different nationalities. People often wonder how they are getting along when their enemies become their neighbors.

Jana Ghoul, a Lebanese 8th grader, said “Most wars are over something stupid that can be solved in other ways.” Ghoul added, “I have a lot of friends from different countries, and I never avoid them because of their nationality.”

Gabriel, an Iraqi 8th grader, states “Some wars start with a few people. Why should the whole country go into war?” Gabriel also said, “I always get to know the person before I do anything”.

Hussien Saleh, a Lebanese 8th grader said “I know that there are wars in the Middle East, but I don’t know what they’re about.” Saleh also adds “Most of the time, I just hear about war on the news”.

At the end of the day, most people agree that wars are starting over stupid reasons and that they should stop. They always say, “Never judge a book by it’s cover. That goes for everything, even people.
