Why let voters decide such an issue.
Ridiculous really.
Rather like allowing the rabble to tear down historical monuments, willy nilly.
Patton had begged Eisenhower to take Berlin 9and other major cities in Eastern Europe), before the Russians. Eisenhower could see no use for Berlin.
Idiotic discussion, really.
Berlin is, even now, running out of airports, apparently.
It is their own fault. Close it if they want to. Let the rabble decide.
It was good enough for the Duke of Cambridge recently. It is certainly good enough for me.
Sounds more and more to me like FDR's original Morgenthau solution, but self imposed!
Stalin was fine with no airport there, letting them take a train to or from an airport in say Moscow or Poland or St Petersburg, after the war. He loved the Morgenthau Plan.
