Letter: 'For my children's sake, send in the troops'
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.READERS' letters continued to flood in to the Independent yesterday in support of this newspaper's demand for limited military action by the West to prevent the destruction of Sarajevo and with it the last hopes for the survival of Bosnia. We print one letter below. A further selection appears on page 8.
Dear Sir
I am a young working woman about to commence having a family. I do not want the death of Sarajevo to form part of my children's inheritance.
Neither do I wish to see my young soldier brother, a Gulf veteran, committed to a lengthy tripartite civil war. I do, however, strongly support his fighting on a precise UN mandate as part of a small and effective deployment of troops for the purpose of keeping Sarajevo and thereby Bosnian hope, alive.
Do it, Mr Major.
