"The battle of Tora Bora is over. Northern Alliance mujahideen say they chased the mostly Arab Al-Qaeda fighters over the mountains into Pakistan. But slowed down by the snow, they gave up the chase. When the mujahideen returned, they killed any stray Arabs they found. 'I saw about 25 bodies later,' says an Alliance fighter.
The mujahideen say Tora Bora was their victory. They laugh at the role of the US Special Forces. 'At best they provided support and at worst did nothing,' the Afghans say."

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.
