Letter: Media aid for Serbs
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: Milosevic's war aims are very simple: to eradicate the Albanian population of Kosovo and then to hide the evidence. Our war aims should be equally simple: to stop this happening, then bring the guilty to trial. Yes, we have made mistakes and yes there will be tragic accidents but let us not forget exactly what is at stake: the future of an entire population.
Air strikes are not enough. A ground force must be sent in. It should be large, heavily armed and given orders to respond to any resistance with equal force. Such action is, I believe, justified and essential if we are to save those Kosovans left in Kosovo.
We could do nothing to save the Jews in 1939. Today we can save the Albanians.
