Letter: No faith in Nato
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: Comparisons with Germany's failure in the war are meaningless. We are not trying to bring justice to Serbia, but only to Kosovo. There, virtually the entire population (the "partisans") want us to succeed.
To argue that the attack is immoral because innocent people will be killed is specious. The purpose of our action is to stop the Serbs systematically killing innocent people.
The Serbs' resolve may well be strengthened by being attacked. It is anyone's guess whether they think denying human rights in Kosovo is worth it. But once they are prevented from deploying armour and artillery there, the KLA will be on more equal terms to resolve the position in Kosovo. Resistance in Serbia is irrelevant since no one wants to invade it.
Regarding the Security Council, I'm not too perturbed morally when I see who opposes the action.
