Letter: After the 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.Sir: Your letter-writers either did not read or have forgotten an article on Kosovo you published some years ago. It described the rapid increase in the Albanian population there, due partly to migration across the frontier and partly to the large families of Albanian Muslims.
It said that, to make room for their expanding numbers, the Albanians were driving the Serbs out of Kosovo, by methods with which we were familiar in Northern Ireland.
Of course the individuals being driven out of Kosovo are pitiful victims, and nothing excuses the Serb massacres of Albanian males. Still, it was Kosovo Albanians who started the fight.
The public is being led to see our role as that of a white knight coming to the aid of a distressed maiden, when it is really an intervention in a fight between two thugs, on behalf of the thug who threw the first punch.
