"The Bush administration understands that Mr. Schr–der is in the middle of a hard-fought election campaign and that he is trying to shore up his support among left-wing voters, the officials said. But Washington 'is not happy at the accusation that it is not consulting with its allies' or that Mr. Bush is 'a trigger-happy Texan,' in the words of one senior American official." [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.
