Letter: Ethically clean?
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.

Sir: The best wars have good names and it is time the latest Balkan affair was given one. As Nato is fighting ethnic cleansing for purely ethical reasons, why not dub it "The First Ethical Cleansing War"?
I suggest "First" because, now that our leaders are becoming ever more conspicuously ethical in their personal habits as well as political practices, the need for ethical wars is bound to increase. The third millennium could well be littered with ethical cleansing wars, titled "Second", "Third", "Fourth" and so on, until someone finally miscalculates and we blunder into the One and Only Nuclear War.
