Marines Face Afghan Backlash

"On Friday night British peacekeeping forces in western Kabul were attacked by 30 gunmen who opened fire with machine-guns. The British returned fire, drove off their attackers and captured seven of the gunmen, who were handed over to Afghan authorities. Nobody was injured. Six of the detained men turned out to be members of the Afghan police service and the seventh was a serving member of newly-constituted Afghan army. Five were in police uniform and one in combats when captured." [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.
