Letter: Nato terror raids
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: In accusing those who oppose Nato's bombing of Yugoslavia of being the same as those who appeased Hitler in the 1930s, Tony Blair has consistently misunderstood the fact that an anti-bombing campaign can in no way be equated with a pro-ethnic cleansing campaign. Those who protest against the bombing of Yugoslavia, such as myself, are merely outraged at the breaking of international law and contravention of the UN charter.
Nato's requirement that its ground troops be allowed into Kosovo is understandably unacceptable to Serbia, just as the suggestion of a foreign intervention force in Northern Ireland would be unacceptable to Mr Blair's government. Are we prepared to wage an all-out war against Serbia for its non-compliance with this demand? If so, Mr Blair would do well to remember what happened to the great powers that declared war on Serbia in 1914.
