Letter: Are we Blair's willing bombers?
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.I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with Ted Dunn's support of "Nato considering the idea of a Marshall Plan for the Balkan region"(Letters, 18 April). It is time to look at what the West's actions have achieved in Kosovo. Apart from being outside international law, Nato bombing has not helped those it allegedly intended to help. In fact it has escalated the conflict and further destabilised the region.
Bombing Serbia will not stop the suffering of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. There is no historical precedent in which a nation was bombed into submission. On the contrary, there is a long list of instances where bombings just increased the defiance of the bombed nation. Second, there is no logic to bombing civilians and infrastructure, because in the short term that will not stop the military conflict in Kosovo. Third, there is never a moral justification for bombing civilians. The Nato air aggression must stop. It has failed.
