Letter: Assault on Iraq
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.In the first half of this century, this nation had to make a second enormous sacrifice of blood and treasure to prevent an evil dictator from running amok, mainly because the international organisations created after the first holocaust, and the national powers concerned, lacked the courage and sense to take timely preventive measures.
I find it difficult to see any moral distinction between the arguments of some Anglican bishops (letter, 11 February) and those of the "peace at any price" advocates who forced me to waste six of the best years of my life, and many of my contemporaries to give their lives or limbs, in the dirty work required to extirpate the plague of Nazism.
