Gallery Fears Art is Afghan Loot

Joyce Morgan | Sydney Morning Herald | December 21, 2001

"Alarm bells rang when Edmund Capon was offered some exquisite ancient Buddhist sculptures earlier this week. The director of the Art Gallery of [New South Wales] feared the sculptures might have been looted from Afghanistan, possibly from the Kabul museum."
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.
