A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.
Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi （伊拉克的）children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad（巴格达）. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad.
