Dulles International

As we sit in the waiting area of Korean Air, we are looking at pictures from the 60's when President Kennedy was here to dedicate Dulles International Airport.

This airport is named after John Foster Dulles, former Secretary of State under President Eisenhower. He is one of the main architects of the foreign policy known as "Massive Retaliation". This is the theory that Eisenhower was operating under when he threatened Mao Ze Dong to bring the Korean Conflict to a swift end, after his 1952 Presidental victory.

Dulles was much smaller in 1962. Looks to be twice as big now. The photos of the automobiles on the access road leading to the airport are also interesting-BIG tail fins!
