Re: I didn't draw these things when I was a kid..
Oh well... then i've seen that before too.
I had several friends who grew up in the ghetto and dealt with drive-bys and drew pictures like that of fear. Some were of dead relatives.
People don't think of America like that, but yes there are poor people who live in rough areas that deal with chronic fear of death every day for nothing they ever did.

Tragic stuff. When she was 9 years old, the first Iraq war was on, and Saddam kept sending rockets into Haifa. She spent plenty of those days in a bomb shelter. Me on the other hand was most likely out ski jumping.
However, like Axlin says, people dealing fear; it can come from so many things.

What is more fearful? The badman who runs your country killing your family because of their race, political beliefs or just because he sees your dad as a threat, or the incredibly unlikely chance that the US will randomly send a missle into your neighborhood? I can't think of too many incidents where missles were just randomly sent to populated areas. And when they were, people were given notice to get out. War sucks and innocents suffer, but any Iraqi or Afghani have a much higher chance of being harmed by their own countrymen and government than they do by the US. Then again, when you hide terrorists or terrorists hide behind children, bad things sometimes happen.
