Letter: Effects of UN policy 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.Sir: As a former 'guest' of Iraq, and part of Saddam Hussein's 'Human Shield', I do appreciate Mr Khaled Al-Duwaisan's feelings as expressed in his letter today (2 August).
However, I am sure that many of us, whose lives were irrevocably damaged by the events of four years ago, would be interested to know if we have grounds for hope in expecting the payment of compensation claimed through the UN. Would it be unreasonable to expect a major contribution from the two wealthy beneficiaries of Allied intervention?
Yours faithfully,
