"A party of defectors from the Taliban, the Khuddamul Furqan Jamiat (KFJ), has decided to take part in the general election due to be held in Afghanistan under last week's Bonn peace agreement. The KFJ or Association of the Servants of the Holy Quran was founded in 1966 but merged with the Taliban movement that took over most of Afghanistan in the 1990s. The KFJ was reactivated last week after the collapse of the Taliban by a number of men who had all held posts in the Taliban government."

This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
