" 'It's nearly impossible to find a country in the world where anti-Americanism is not present,' said Shlapentokh, who spoke during a recent seminar at RAND. 'Few ideologies in any region can be so emotionally strong, attractive, and can carry so much weight with so many people as anti-Americanism.'

"In an interview with BBC News Online, Mr Halliday said: 'I don't think Saddam Hussein possesses any weapons of mass destruction. There'd be no doomsday option for him in the event of a US attack. But it could mean horrific casualties among Iraqis, who I think would fight, and for the Americans.' " [more]
"Nyoman, who has got a number of monumental statues to his credit, touches our feelings with his depiction of some people writhing at the end of a pile of debris. It was on the ground of this tragedy that US President George W. Bush and his allies attacked Afghanistan, toppled the ruling Taliban government and tried to capture Osama bin Laden but to no avail.

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.
