Shannon air-traffic controller strike

What is the anti-war movement doing about preventing an additional 150,000 American troops from arriving in Iraq to massacre Iraqis?

Almost every year French and Spanish railway workers and air-traffic controllers cause travel chaos for holiday makers.

Why can't we pressure the Irish air-traffic controllers union into striking or refusing to handle American air-traffic.

This action should be simple to implement, is completely peaceful, involves no damage to property and eminently serves the purpose of making it as difficult as possible for Anglo-American troops to arrive in Iraq.

If the air-traffic controllers will not strike a picket on the staff entrances to the airports could serve the same purpose of disrupting American troop-carrier landings and overflights!

What do you think?
