Politicians
of both parties are beating the war drums, their ominous rhythm
drowning out voices for peace – in spite of polls that show
most
Americans want out of Iraq and oppose
sending more troops anywhere in the Middle East. Yet the
high-pitched drone of the War Party's rhetoric is escalating
as we inch closer to war with Iran and Syria. The war propaganda,
too, is getting louder and more insistent – and, just as in
the
run-up to war with Iraq, the "mainstream" media
is a more-than-willing conduit.
That's
why it's a good thing we have Antiwar.com – to counter the
lies, dig out the truth, and spread the word far and wide.
But it's
best not to take anything for granted…
Unlike
the War Party, which has a virtually bottomless war chest
provided by both public and private sources, we get by on
very little – but that relatively minuscule amount is absolutely
necessary to our survival. We can't just turn to our millionaire
friends and ask for some extra cash – we don't have any millionaire
friends. Antiwar.com depends
on you, our readers and supporters, to keep this project going.
Without
your support, we are history – at a time when Antiwar.com
has never been more needed.
Your 100%
tax-deductible contribution goes to run a very tight ship:
no perks and executive "golden parachutes" over
here! For over a decade,
we've been working more hours a day than we care to remember
to bring you the latest, most up-to-date news and commentary
from a noninterventionist point of view – and we hope to bring
you foreign policy aficionados, antiwar activists, and just
plain folks the world over another decade of the same level
of service.
We can
drown out those war drums with the truth – but we can't do
it without you.
