 In
the battle to take back American foreign policy from those
who have hijacked it, knowledge is the biggest weapon in the
peace camp's arsenal. And the dissemination of this essential
weapon is what Antiwar.com is all about.
In the
years since our founding in 1995, we have raised awareness
of issues that are now at the forefront of public discussion
and debate. Back then, no one knew what a "neocon"
was – and now, after years of educating the concerned public,
we've succeeded in spreading that knowledge far and wide.
"Weapons of mass destruction" and Iraq's "links"
to al-Qaeda – lies, we said, all lies. Today, that knowledge
pervades the political atmosphere, destroying the War Party's
credibility like a corrosive fog.
A people
armed with knowledge cannot be defeated – but if the educators
go out of business or are otherwise hobbled by a lack of resources,
the process is delayed if not derailed. Antiwar.com depends
on its readers – not big foundations, foreign lobbyists, and
fat-cat donors – for survival. Without
you, the concerned and engaged individual, we would not continue
to exist for a single day.
We appeal
to our loyal readers and all those many thousands of newcomers
who have been flocking to this site: with a daily reach of
some 90,000-plus unique readers, we have been upholding our
end of the unspoken bargain between publisher and reader.
The terms of that bargain – our readers will continue to receive
the benefits of one of the most informative sites on the Internet
as long as they continue to support us with their tax-deductible
contributions – are implicit, but inescapable. We cannot continue
unless our readers come across with their support, and now
is the time to do so.
Make
your contribution today,
so we can help bring about a more peaceful tomorrow.
