"Ý'Tell me why our homes were destroyed and 55 people ó even little children ó are dead?' asked an angry young man named Gul Nabi, standing in December among the 15 obliterated houses of a village named Madoo.

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.
