About Us

Founded in December 1995, Antiwar.com is a leading source of news, analysis, and opinions on war, militarism, and foreign policy. The site is dedicated to advocating for a non-interventionist U.S. foreign policy and promoting peace through diplomacy and dialogue. As an independent and non-partisan platform, Antiwar.com serves as a hub for individuals across the political spectrum who are united in their opposition to aggressive foreign interventions, military conflicts, and the expansion of the warfare state. The website draws inspiration from the writings of Randolph Bourne, particularly his assertion that "war is the health of the state," a sentiment that underscores Antiwar.com’s commitment to challenging the forces that benefit from perpetual warfare.

By offering a diverse range of articles and perspectives, it strives to foster a deeper understanding of international issues and provide alternative viewpoints to the mainstream media narrative.

The website is entirely funded by donations, ensuring its editorial independence and freedom from corporate or government influence.
