Antiwar.com is pleased to announce the winners of its first-ever Student Essay Contest, held summer 2006. We had numerous entrants, and we congratulate all who took the time and energy to give us their views. In particular we are happy to report participation from around the world – although as Antiwar.com’s readership is quite international, this really should be no surprise.
