Think of Africa, once a country of greatness. Until the day European colonist decided to ravage the country. Think, just for a moment, what if Africa was allowed to mature. What if the colonists came to their shores and were welcomed with steel and fire, what if Africa united. With the harsh terrain and the Malaria threat on their side would the Europeans stand a chance? Would the world today be managed by Africa as a whole? The United Countries of Africa? If today we were under Africa’s rule, similar to the way America is but 10 fold, how would things be different? Would they it be communist, Dictatorship, Democracy. How Dramatic a change? Just ponder the thought.
I never understood why the people of the world held such little faith in children. What will happen when the finest military minds are on last legs and nations are on the eve of battle? When the time comes, will grown men finally swallow their pride, or will they shut out their only hope for national supremacy. The facts are simple, children are the future and instead of government officials fearing the loss of a job, we should open our minds to the possibility of a better way. Now the question arises; should we test our children for leadership ability and military aptitude? I vote yes; for a future of peace and a future of life.
