Letter: End Iraq's agony
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: Mr Blair made a first-class speech in Parliament to explain why we and the Americans were reluctantly taking military action to rid the world of a great evil. It reminded me of that day in 1939 when we reluctantly began one of the few just wars in all history to rid Europe of another great evil, an aim eventually achieved with the help of the Americans.
How few of our so-called partners in the European Union have declared their support for an action so completely justified. The irony is that Mr Blair is trying desperately to subordinate our ancient country to a new conglomerate which plans to take control of our finances, our legal system, our borders, our defences and our foreign policy. What action would Mr Blair have been allowed to take if our foreign policy were decided (if that's the word) by a committee in Brussels?
