Letter: Peace convoy shames politicians
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: As the mother of a soldier who might well find himself embroiled in the tragedy of Bosnia if we involve ourselves more deeply, I cannot agree that Britain, or indeed any nation, should be ashamed of its role in the affair.
Enough has been written and said about the three-cornered quarrel that exists in that troubled land. Suffice it to say that I do not see it as our business - terrible though the facts are - to throw our sons into the cauldron. Perhaps, like some virulent epidemic, the conflict will burn itself out - please leave our forces out of it.
Yours sincerely,
