"The [art] museum was No. 2 on a list of 16 sites deemed crucial to protect. Financial institutions topped the list, including the Iraqi Central Bank, which is now a burned-out shell filled with twisted metal beams from the collapse of the roof and all nine floors under it. The list also included various ministries such as defense, foreign affairs and interior. Just one ministry was protected by coalition forces from the beginning of the occupation, the Ministry of Oil, which was last on the list." [more]
"The U.S., once a guarantor of peace, is now perceived in the rest of the world as an aggressor. Its victim is a small Muslim nation unable to defend its own air space, much less to project power beyond its borders. If Iraqis attempt to resist invasion, they will be slaughtered." [more]

" 'It's bizarre beyond belief,' said Ibrahim Hooper of the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations. 'It would suggest to us an "Israelization" of American politics.

Mr. Hooper asked." [more]
" 'I don't think it's a sufficient excuse, but I do think the Congress and other forces have made us overreact to that sort of a charge,' Mr. Lott said. 'I never have understood in America this preoccupation and fear that if we're going to have the necessary authority for our law enforcement people to do their jobs, it might infringe on your rights.

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.
