"If colonists and despots call acts carried out in defence of the legitimate right to self-determination "acts of terrorism" when they occur off the battlefield and involve civilians, then it should be remembered that freedom fighters and dissidents are not always capable of facing their enemies on the battlefield or of avoiding the killing of innocent people.

"Saddam was seized, possibly with the connivance of his own men, and held in that hole in Adwar for three weeks or more, which would have accounted for his appearance and condition.

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.
