儿童也学会杀人。十四岁的哈吉从军队退役。他在十岁那一年被叛军抓去当兵，并受训使用AK-47自动步枪。由于新入伍，他被派去抢食物、烧房子，也曾杀戮及残害人。今天，哈吉要过常人的生活绝不容易，因为他无法忘却战时的经历。另一个童兵亚伯拉罕也曾受训杀人，但他不愿放下武器重新做人。他说：“不再拿枪，我靠什么生活？” 今天，全球有三十多万男女童兵，正一个一个地在没完没了的内战中战死沙场。一个叛军领袖说：“童兵服从命令，天不怕、地不怕，无需惦记妻子儿女。”其实，这些孩子希望过较佳的生活，也应享有美好的生活。对富裕国家的人来说，有关童兵的骇人报道匪夷所思。虽然如此，不少西方国家的儿童却学会在自己的家里“发动战争”，怎会这样？以年轻的若泽为例，他住在西班牙东南部，爱好武术，以拥有一把武士刀自豪。那把刀是父亲送给他的圣诞礼物。若泽也喜爱电子游戏，尤其沉迷于打打杀杀的游戏。2000年4月1日，他模仿电子游戏中的英雄人物，挥刀袭击父母和妹妹，把他们杀死。若泽所用的那把刀，就是父亲送给他的。若泽对警察说：“我想独自一个人留在世上，不要爸妈来烦扰我。” 军官戴夫•格罗斯曼是个作家，他评论血腥娱乐的影响：“我们本来惧怕血腥，现在却变成嗜血；观看别人受苦已成为一种娱乐，我们落到了麻木不仁的地步。我们学习杀人，也爱上杀人。” 哈吉和若泽并非生来就会杀人，他们是学会杀人的。这种训练歪曲了他们的思想。这样的训练要是持续下去，就无论是对儿童也好，对成人也好，都能种下暴力和战争的祸根。

English translation:

They Learned to Kill. At the age of 14, Alhaji became a decommissioned soldier. He was only ten years old when rebel troops captured him and trained him to fight with an AK-47 assault rifle. As a forced recruit, he went on food raids and burned down houses. He also killed and mutilated people. Today, Alhaji finds it difficult to forget war and to adjust to civilian life. Abraham, another child soldier, also learned to kill and was reluctant to turn over his weapon. He said: "If they tell me to go away without my gun, I don’t know what I will do, how I will eat." More than 300,000 child soldiers—both boys and girls—are still fighting and dying in the endless civil conflicts that plague our planet. Explained one rebel leader: "They obey orders; they are not concerned about getting back to their wife or family; and they don’t know fear." Yet, these children want and deserve a better life. In developed countries, the appalling situation of the child soldier may seem a world away. Even so, many Western children are learning to wage war in the comfort of their homes. In what way? Take José from southeastern Spain as an example. He was a teenager who enjoyed practicing martial arts. His prize possession was a samurai sword that his father had bought him for Christmas. And he loved video games, especially violent ones. On April 1, 2000, he emulated in real life the aggression of his screen hero. In an orgy of violence, he killed his father, his mother, and his sister with the very sword his father had given him. "I wanted to be alone in the world; I didn’t want my parents looking for me," he explained to the police. Commenting on the effects of violent entertainment, author and military officer Dave Grossman noted: "We are reaching that stage of desensitization at which the inflicting of pain and suffering has become a source of entertainment: vicarious pleasure rather than revulsion. We are learning to kill, and we are learning to like it." Both Alhaji and José learned to kill. Neither set out to be killers, but training of one sort or another warped their thinking. Such training—whether for children or for adults—sows the seeds of violence and war.
