Letter: Serbia's obsession
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: As a criminal psychologist I believe that Nato has made a dreadful mistake. The psychological profile of people such as Slobodan Milosevic was obvious even to the lay person. Such personality traits do not disappear when confronted - it is usual for them to react in an extreme manner such as we have seen with the heightened ethnic cleansing in Kosovo.
I simply cannot understand how such a miscalculation can have occurred. Confronting a violent personality with an aggressive response coupled with open threats will always spell disaster.
As for the captured American servicemen, I am sure that they would fare better if Nato ceased making ill-thought-out comments about their safety. If I were captured by Mr Milosevic I would sincerely hope that Nato would keep their opinions to themselves lest they should exacerbate the crazed actions of an already borderline personality disorder.
