Support Antiwar.com
FROM ANTI-WAR.Com: Please (yanggen sina hao) support them during their pledge week:
There were no links to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in Iraq – that was a lie.
The Iraqis did not represent a credible threat to the U.S. or anyone else – that, too, was a lie.
Yet we have sacrificed over 4,100 American lives and, by some counts, a million Iraqis on the altar of George W. Bush's vanity.
The government and the mainstream media lied us into war and would gladly do the same again, given half a chance. They have just one big problem, however: we aren't going to let them get away with it.
The new media of which Antiwar.com is a part played a major role in debunking the administration's case for war in Iraq. We are proud of our record and our ever-expanding global audience, but we aren't resting on our laurels. A war based on lies continues, and we continue to pay the price, in lives and resources. As fresh war clouds gather over the Middle East, we realize that our job, far from being over, has just begun. But we can't continue to fight without your help.
We depend on the tax-deductible donations of our readers and supporters to finance Antiwar.com – to pay our writers a pittance, to keep the Web site up and safe from attack, to hold up the banner of peace and non-interventionism in a world where fear and force rule the day. We can't make it without you, so please contribute today.

A few years ago when I first stumbled upon Antiwar.com their quarterly pledge weeks would actually last a week. But as the years have passed, I've noticed that their drives are lasting longer and longer, sometimes several weeks before they raise enough money to survive for another quarter. This is precisely the reason why Antiwar.com is so important. The country is getting less and less interested in war, even as its is fighting several wars and several dozen wars continue around the world as I type.
