Greetings dear friends! A former member of the band Urban Guerrilla, who has lived in Britain for over thirty years, recalled an episode from the Serbian protests in London on the occasion of the NATO bombing in 1999. An Englishwoman with a young daughter approached him, and a dialogue followed: "Explain to me exactly what is happening in your country, as I don't think everything is as it is shown on our TV." "What's bothering you?" he asked. "Well, I was confused by talking to my daughter five minutes ago. She asked me why Serbs are being bombed? I told her because they are evil. And my daughter said only briefly, If they're evil, why don't they bomb us?" ********************************************************************************************** Pozdravljam vas dragi prijatelji! Nekadašnji član benda Urbana gerila, koji preko trideset godina živi u Britaniji, prisetio se epizode sa srpskih protesta u Londonu povodom NATO bombardovanja 1999. Prišla mu je Engleskinja s malom ćerkom, i usledio je dijalog: "Objasnite mi šta se tačno dogadja u vašoj zemlji, pošto mislim da nije sve onako kakvim se prikazuje na našoj TV." "Šta vas buni?" upitao je. "Pa, zbunio me je razgovor s mojom ćerkicom pre pet minuta. Pitala me je zašto se bombarduju Srbi? Rekla sam joj zato što su zli. A moja ćerka je samo kratko rekla na to: Pa ako su oni zli, zašto oni nas ne bombarduju?"

Whatever it is that cause by the war, may those who traumatize be healed and be a pillar of peace!
child feeling is so innocent
Children's questions are always right, my dear, but because of the foolishness of governments, they cannot answer them logically, because we ourselves do not know why
