>One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend, who lives on
a

>"No," says Mr. Bush," that would be an accident."

>A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children

tragedy."

>"I'm afraid not," explains the world leader. "That's what we would
call
>a great loss.

>"The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.

>Mr. Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me
an

>Finally at the back of the room a small boy raises his hand. In a
quiet
