Letter: Serbs in Britain
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 Nato propaganda machine assures us that there is now a majority in Europe in favour of the continued bombing of Serbia and Kosovo. Well, they would, wouldn't they? I missed out on this particular referendum and would like to make it very clear there is a minority of at least one.
The bombing aided and abetted President Milosevic in the immediate and brutal displacement of hundreds of thousands of his people, who but for the Nato action would still be in their own homes, albeit under dire threat, but still with hope. There are always alternatives to brute force, but Nato chose aerial bombardment, so sadly reminiscent of the worst excesses of the many wars that distinguish our century.
Bomber Harris earned his unlovely sobriquet for supporting the destruction of Dresden to curtail the Second World War in Europe, a policy of arguable efficacy. Are we now to have Bomber Blair leading us into a Third World War, to the resounding strains of "Onward Christian Soldiers" perhaps?
