Before the war, US interrogators were desperately in need to question Curveball since they got intelligence that Curveball was making weapons of mass destructions.

German intelligence officer claimed Curveball was mentally ill so there was no need to see him. On my opinion, the people to blame for this Curveball debacle would be the German intelligence officer who could not allow an interrogation session with Curveball.

A child could be great at performing and acting in plays, but they will never know because they were pushed into athletics before they got the chance to explore all of their options. The person who could cure cancer, may never get the chance to explore the opportunities science offers him/her. By forcing children into sports at young ages, parents have cancelled out

Children have strived for years to make their parents, teachers and coaches proud of them.
