      - Right. They would have to close all airspace which means domestic flights as well due to open skies treaties. -- nm - spamlet Mar 12, 05:55

    - If you had a parliamentary system, this is the point where he'd be politely told to sit in a room while you choose who's actually in charge. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 06:05 1
      - Really?! Even telling the moron to eff off you’d do politely?!? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:12
