"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. Nyoman Nuarta has not created this statue as a means to state he takes sides with the United States. Rather, through his piece, he declares he sides with humanity." [more]

"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. Meanwhile, his captors bargained for the $25m prize the Americans promised for information leading to his capture alive or dead." [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.
