"The [Canadian] government provided Butt with an attorney to plead his asylum case, health benefits, and, until he finds work, a housing allowance. He has applied for three factory jobs. Asylum-seekers in the United States, by contrast, must wait six months to work, relying on charity in the meantime. Sometimes they end up in jail as their case winds through the courts." [more]
"A huge puppet of Bush feeding the Bill of Rights into a paper shredder was stationed at the rally-site entrance with a sign reading: 'Defend our rights, repeal the Patriot Act now.' " [more]

President Bush linked war on Iraq to his global anti-terrorism campaign in a speech to the US Coast Guard, and argued that Saddam Hussein or his terrorist allies may try to strike America in retaliation for the US-led fighting. Several hundred protesters questioned this threat and accused the Bush Administration of waging a needless and destructive war. [more]

"The U.N. Security Council is likely to spend the next two weeks debating war with Iraq, but the issue has already been decided: President Bush intends to go to war with or without U.N. support." [more]

"Our 'axis of evil' rhetoric is only making it worse." [more]
"I don't think a war on Iraq should be connected to the war on terrorism. All the reasons I've heard to go to war are not as strong as the reasons I've heard not to go to war." [more]

"America probably has the military might to do the job alone, but Americans usually prefer to be seen as acting out of right, not just might.

What's more, a solo, 'preventive' war, conducted in defiance of world opinion, would be a dangerous precedent." [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.
