"I don't think a war on Iraq should be connected to the war on terrorism. All the reasons I've heard to go to war are not as strong as the reasons I've heard not to go to war." [more]
"President Hamid Karzai urged donors at the opening of the talks Tuesday to shift away from immediate humanitarian aid and to focus more on the longer-term investments needed to aid the shattered nation.

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.
