"The U.S. occupation of Iraq has turned into a daily debacle, say experts, because the Washington ideologues who planned the war were living in a fantasy." [more]
"While Americans watch Baghdad burn from a distance, most of the Arab channels have corespondents inside the city, and they emphasize reporting of civilian casualties. There's also lots of news about worldwide protests." [more]
"Demonstrators are planning to shut down San Francisco's Financial District, to gather by the thousands in New York's Times Square, to stage sit-ins in Washington, D.C. [and] to try to breach security at Vandenberg Air Force Base ... They're going not just to protest, but to interfere." [more]
"Yet even as demonstrators declared that they were standing with the world — and especially with Germany and France, whose opposition to war with Iraq in the U.N. was commended on sign after sign — the event was filled with the burnished spirit of New York.

"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.
