"In a nationwide television address, Putin repeated Russia's often-stated position that the 1972 treaty is a cornerstone of world security. 'This step was not a surprise for us. However, we consider it a mistake,' Putin said.

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.
