 That’s
right, Antiwar.com as you know it is finished.
After
11 years of continuous operation, we finally ran out of funds:
we cannot pay our staff, as small as it is. The reason: a
lack of financial support from our contributors and supporters.
It’s ironic that, as the war threat is ramped up, the number-one
antiwar Web site is forced to scale back – or close completely
– but there you have it. Perhaps people expect the new
Congress, or James
Baker, or some combination of both, to get us out of Iraq.
If so, they are going to be sorely disappointed. But we won’t
be around to comment on it, unless…
Unless,
that is, you heed this final appeal.
Without
partisan bias, we have featured writers on the Left and Right,
and most points in between, with one goal in mind: to help
forge a noninterventionist consensus in the foreign policy
realm. No, we don’t try to please everybody; we make no secret
of our libertarian affiliations, and we aren’t afraid to take
controversial stands. On the other hand, unlike many "antiwar"
outfits, we refuse to divert our focus to needlessly divisive,
irrelevant side issues.
Look,
we aren’t perfect. We could stand some improvement. Yet we
are necessary, and you know it. Put not your faith in politicians,
but in the vigilance of an informed people. That is the cause
we serve – and it’s a cause that is in danger. Help save Antiwar.com
