THE WAR PARTY HAS MILLIONS

The neocons who dragged us into war didn't do it on a shoestring budget. The numerous pro-war front groups, foreign lobbyists, and neoconservative thinktanks, along with their corporate sponsors, together command a war chest of many millions. And there's more where that came from ...

Add to that the power and reach of the pro-war media – the Murdoch empire, Clear Channel, and the Fox News-National Review-New York Sun axis of disinformation – and you get some idea of just what we're up against.

Let's face it. We're outgunned, and outspent, on the money side of the ledger. Antiwar.com will never begin to match the multi-million dollar budgets of our foes.

But so what? We don't need to spend millions of dollars per year to get our message out, because Antiwar.com does it the cost-effective way: over the internet.

A leaner and meaner operation doesn't exist anywhere in the media, mainstream or "alternative," at least not one with a comparable readership. We accomplish a lot with much less.

Every day, since 1998, we've brought you the news on a daily – nay, an hourly – basis, through the Bosnian-Kosovo conflict, 9/11, and the start of what is beginning to look like World War IV. We have consistently offered a diverse menu of foreign policy analysts, representing a wide spectrum of opinion. This diversity underscores our commitment to a single underlying principle: the desirability and absolute necessity of a non-interventionist foreign policy.

Antiwar.com is a great service to have at your fingertips. It's worth your tax-deductible contribution, just to make sure it keeps going. That's a small price to pay, considering what you get: constantly updated war news and trenchant analysis, 24/7. So pay your way: contribute today.


So far, 403 of you have given $20,985 – we still have a long way to go to make our goal.
