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: Thank you for the refreshing article "Bin Laden will take his revenge" (21 August) by Robert Fisk. Fisk should be commended for daring to be objective in an increasingly pro-American media.
The US must be made to realise that it will become increasingly isolated as European governments begin to think carefully before rubber-stamping "Wild West" style military operations. The U.S. government's actions against Sudan and Afghanistan are tantamount to a declaration of war. It would seem that the US is trying to imitate Israel's "iron fist" policy of striking back hard. However, as events in South Lebanon show, such action, rather than being effective as a deterrent, simply exacerbates the situation.
