For many years SIA has been an empty runway going to and from nowhere I'd want to be. And now the gift shops may open before the 4th of July. I wonder, just what will the vendors sell? Miniature battlefields full of GI Joe's? Has Mac Donald's signed their contract yet? Does Barbie wear combat boots? Whose flags will grace the tops of tiny sticks? Which oil company will get the next contract? Will the UN flag ride high in the Iraqui sky? Will the Iraqui's fly their flag some day when the occupation troops go away? Don't get me wrong... I never honored Saddam. But the land known as Iraq is not a part of the US of A, so when we are done with this dirty deed, we should all pack up and fly away, book a flight from the new BIA, Baghdad International Airport.

I like the sound of Baghdad Airport much better that Saddam Airport...James |

Eric, I humbly thank you for your reply. James, yes, BIA...it does have a more pleasant ring to it. Perhaps, some day, I will make a visit again to the ME. But it's doubtful. I still remember too vividly the runway military escorts I had on El AL flights, not to mention the bus terminals in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the grenade going off behind me on the Via de la Rosa.
