This is HUGE. And not only that, but this is our airlines, one of the two that we have been using for getting to and from Europe. AND Westchester County is the airport by our house (that we can't sell) in New York. It is a rural airport, absolutely tiny, way north of the city. SO easy to deal with and an airport that we have been using for many years so know really well. This will make European travel so much easier and less costly!
-
That is really cheap. That will certainly change how people get to and from Europe!

This is a rush to judgement. Intentionally bombed? Yes. But why was it chosen as a target? Once that is disclosed, then work on determining if it was a war crime or not.
Mistaken targets happen. Does not instantly mean it is a war crime. Does not mean it is not either. That is the point of investigating and using the rule of law instead of the mob mentality of mass media.

US stated that it was intentional. That's not in dispute from either side. Doctors without Borders said that intentional, for whatever reason, violated the law and constituted a war crime. Maybe they are incorrect, but that is what they stated and what the US has admitted to. So that is the starting point.
