Letter: I didn't vote for war in 1997
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.YOU SAY "most of Nato's bombs have found their target but too many have not" (Leading article, 9 May). Your idea of "too many" seems to be about 0.1 per cent at the most.
And what "military bungling" has characterised the war, as you suggest? In fact it has been a quite extraordinary feat to have successfully co- ordinated this military effort which, after almost eight weeks, has not resulted in the loss of one aircrew in action. If you mean by "military bungling" the decision not to use ground troops in action, I hope you realise that this would have meant the deaths of very large numbers of Kosovars.
Tony Blair represents only about 5 per cent of the population of Nato's states. He has to go along with our allies, once we are committed to war, even if he disagrees with some aspects of the consensual policy.
