Following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States President George Bush declared a "war on terrorism." To support these efforts, Bush attempted to assemble a "coalition of the willing" and repeatedly claimed that the war on terrorism is a war without borders. In opposition to Bush's agenda, the transnational peace movement has forged a resistance that is also without borders. For several governments it is now a question of which superpower to obey; the United States or the will of their citizens. This analysis combines aspects of social movement theory such as political opportunity structure, resource mobilization, framing, and social movement consequences to examine how, through transnational networking, groups have used a wide variety of tactics and have forged a global sense of collective identity that appeals to international norms in an attempt to alter public opinion, oust political officials unresponsive to their demands, change state policies, and ultimately undermine the institutional and political infrastructure that is supporting the war on terrorism.
