Stardate 20011123.1724 (On Screen via long range sensors): Henry writes in about the site PreventAfghanWar.org, which replaced its front page with a "we're redesigning" announcement:
This web site was intended as a place to gather and focus the opinions of American who believe that going to war with Afghanistan, in an action like Desert Storm, is not the way for the United States to respond to the destruction of the World Trade Center and the other terrorists acts of September 11, 2001.
On October 8 the military action began. Then it was not clear if this is an American verses Afghanistan war or has evolved into a coalition of countries against terrorists based in Afghanistan. The situation changed significantly by November 14, 2001.
Events have seemed to render the purpose of this web site moot. War and now the displacement of the Afghanistan government by the Northern Aliance is becoming a fact. Therefore this web site is being taken down, at least for the time being.
"The situation changed significantly by November 14", that being the day that Kabul fell. "Events have seemed to render the purpose of this web site moot." I like that -- no sign or indication that events have render the web site wrong, mind. Say, by acknowledging that the collapse of the Taliban will make Afghanistan a much better place for its people to live. (discuss)
Not to mention the fact that the operation in Afghanistan hasn't been even remotely like Desert Storm.
