Letter: Iraq resolution
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.ROBIN COOK convinced me that action must be taken to stop Iraq using its weapons of mass destruction. Saddam's stated aim is to destroy Tel Aviv, which he tried to do the first time. If he succeeds this time, he will be a hero to many Arabs, which explains their reluctance to support the United States and Britain. It explains, too, the same reluctance of countries with strong trading links with Iraq, such as Russia, or countries with a large Arab community, such as France. If Saddam succeeds in hitting Israel, the same people writing in your columns will complain that the US and Britain should have stopped him while there was still time.
