This means the airport will be even more dependent on US military traffic for it's survival. Expect even more intransigence from government and airport authorities in the face of of anti war activities.

If you truly want support for the cause (although not for the right reasons!!), I suggest you appeal to Dublin airport management / investors. They've been wanting to close down shannon to get it's business for themselves for years. They'd probably even donate money to the cause!!
