I lay in bed trying to find a position where I wouldn&#8217;t cough incessantly, I thinking to myself: what if the fundraiser goes badly? What&nbsp;if&nbsp;&#8230;&nbsp;? <\/p>\n<p>And then, mercifully, sleep overtook me. I feel better this morning, and so here I am, at the same old stand, making the case for Antiwar.com.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been manning the barricades for the Peace Party online for over twenty years, fact-checking the War Party so you don&#8217;t have to, and holding up the propaganda that comes out of the &quot;mainstream&quot; media to the most rigorous scrutiny. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have to make the case for donating because it&#8217;s so glaringly obvious that to do so insults my readers&#8217; intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>No one else does the job we do. Nowhere else can you find the comprehensive coverage and fine-tuned fact-filled analysis of what&#8217;s happening in the world of foreign policy. And if you think that world has no effect on your life, think again &#8211; and remember the aftermath of 9\/11, and the decades of war that followed.<\/p>\n<p>Could it have all been avoided? Could things have turned out differently? Is there an alternative to our foreign policy of global intervention?<\/p>\n<p>We ask &#8211; and answer &#8211; these questions every single day. But we can&#8217;t continue to do it without your financial support.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/antiwar.com\/donate\/\"><b>Please make your tax-deductible donation today.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a
