[quote=Anonymous]John Foster Dulles isn't my cup of tea, nor is his brother, but what do you expect when we went ahead and renamed National "Reagan National"? If I had to pick a bone, I'd go after DCA's "proper" name first. At least Dulles's work was largely in the context of Eisenhower, who actually warned us about the military-industrial complex. Not that he should get credit for that or it should have anything to do with airport names. I'd love to keep it to local geographical names (which, of course, include references to people in history but are more broadly accepted for practical reasons), and maybe diminutive local honorifics that could more easily change.
