Letter: Kosovo shame
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: The Independent makes particularly grim reading today ("Serbs butcher Kosovo children", 30 September). The latest pictures of murdered Albanian children will doubtless prompt another round of hand-wringing in Western capitals and lead to calls for Slobodan Milosevic to be charged with war crimes and to yet more empty threats of military intervention.
Perhaps justice might be as well served by charging the European heads of state with appeasement? The failure of Nato and European leaders to do any more than bluster for months now while Kosovo burns shames us all.
The coming Balkan winter will be a desperate one for the estimated 275,000 refugees in Kosovo and the hot air pouring forth from London, Bonn, Paris and Brussels will do nothing to warm them.
