Letter: Caring for Kosovo
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In your letters pages, many otherwise progressive people appear to be asking, "Who are they against?" rather than, "What do they represent?" when deciding where to stand on action against the Serbs.
Their world view is looking worryingly like a mirror image of that of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, when conservatives turned a blind eye to what various military dictatorships around the world were doing to their own people for no better reason than that they were anti- communist.
I am no fan of bombing people but I do think that we have to do better than "My enemy's enemy is my friend" when thinking about the current bout of ethnic cleansing in Europe.
