Letter: Christian Europe's betrayal of peaceful Muslims in Bosnia
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: Each toothless Western communique about Bosnia has spurred Serbs, and recently Croats, too, to ever crueller slaughter of Bosnian Muslims and more ferocious destruction of their cities: only President Clinton's momentary adoption of a resolute posture induced them briefly to desist.
With the renewed onslaught on Sarajevo, the final solution is under way; and still our leaders will do no more to discourage these savage bullies than issue one more subdued complaint.
If we are to save a whole people from annihilation, and redeem the shame of our cowardice and indifference, we, with or without the agreement of other Western nations, must intervene at once with decisive military force.
Yours sincerely,
