Letter: Iraq's Blitz spirit
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: What message of condolence do ministers plan to send to families of the bereaved in Iraq? Even suffering under the brutality of Saddam's inhuman regime is surely better than being killed or maimed for life by British or US bombs.
Let us not forget that this country and our weapons industries armed the brutal dictatorship of Saddam Hussein in the first place, as the Scott Inquiry laid bare. And not a single Tory minister found it necessary to resign over it.
