Letter: Crisis over 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: I am a British citizen living and working in the north of Yugoslavia. I teach English and am involved in teacher training.
I have chosen not to leave the country, and instead to share the fate of my hosts. Much as I dislike the dictatorial system of government in Yugoslavia and disapprove of the brutal way the Kosovo crisis has been handled so far, I am completely opposed to Nato intervention in general and air strikes in particular.
It is clear to me that the Serbian government will not be bombed back to the negotiating table, however considerable the damage caused by air strikes. By allowing military action to take place, I fear the West are letting themselves in for a long and bloody conflict that would soon involve a number of other countries and entail the loss of many innocent lives.
