Letter: Serbia's path to war
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.REFERRING to the Kosovan Liberation Army as "shady" ("Cook plea falls on deaf ears as Serb police blitz villages", 6 March) lends credence to the Serb notion that they are a terrorist group. Terrorists are military units which mercilessly attack innocent civilians outside their own country (or foreigners within it) to draw attention to their cause. The KLA are defending their homes and families against an internal aggressor and trying to fight their way back to the semblance of democracy they enjoyed under Tito.
If Slobodan Milosevic continues down this path - a course which has been escalating for years - the result will involve several other countries in the region and perhaps even Turkey, making Bosnia look like a picnic. Such a war (specifically the hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees) will be felt throughout Europe for many years to come and one way or another, we will pay for it.
