Syrian children look out from the windows of a vehicle in the city of Azaz, on the outskirts of Aleppo, Syria, Aug. 22.
While I find it hard to imagine what it would be like as an adult living in a city that has become a war zone, I cannot imagine what it would be like living as a kid in the middle of air strikes and sniper fire. The dangers of playing in the streets change from being hit by a car or crashing a bicycle to getting hit by a bullet or a rocket. Despite those risks, these children seem to carry on and adapt to their new normal.

Its so funny , every time our reporters report from Syria , they always show us the villagers in Syria , they never show the big buildings the nice areas in that country they never go to the cities our the Christians villages and talk to any body there , Its a shame , I wish these damn reporters tell you that Syria was famous for its safety and beauty , these reporters are one sided asssss holes , why don't they show us the cities were these thugs been and destroyed , now Assad and the people of Syria built their country , only to destroy it , I have seen Naive people before but listening to some comments here on this site beats every thing I have ever seen , Assad killing his own people , Christians , Muslims , Alwites and destroying all the infrastructures in his country , the one he and his people built , now , How stupid is that , I read one comment while ago , the guy said Assad hired Alqaida to come to his country and do all these massacres , so he can blame it on the rebels . Wow do these people live among us ???? I am really worried .
I would welcome these people to the United States but Latin Americans do not want any more easterners in the Americas.
