Installed seven weeks ago, the new administration is a fragile coalition made up mostly of backers of the former king, Mohammed Zahir Shah, and leaders of the Northern Alliance, an amalgam of groups from northern Afghanistan whose troops helped oust the Taliban in November."

"[F]ears have prompted an escalating campaign by U.S. diplomatic, military and law enforcement officials to increase cooperation with Yemen's government, which has mobilized troops to crack down on suspected militants since Sept. 11 and has announced plans to expel more than 100 foreigners for questionable activities."

"Cheney said that the administration intended a multifaceted approach against terror with some of it 'visible and public' like the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan and some of it not.

"Afghanistan's volatile post-Taliban politics took a grim turn today when Hamid Karzai, chairman of the interim government, said the killing Thursday of one of his ministers was carried out by other senior government officials, including the intelligence chief." [more]

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.
