Letter: Iraq's sovereignty
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 astonished that your correspondence columns have not so far reflected an immediate revulsion for the swing in US and British policy towards the overthrow of Saddam Hussein following the abortion of the planned air attack upon Iraq.
Britain should align itself with the wiser policy of the French government and reject the presumption of the US that it has the right, and the capability, to determine the internal affairs of an independent state.
To our own Prime Minister we should say, in the words of Cromwell to those high-minded Scots who sought to impose their will upon England in 1650: "I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, to think it possible that you may be mistaken."
