bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 i have to admit i dont particularly *hate* it but what mattrs is what the Iraqis think. I also have to admit one of the first things I thought was "wow, same colors as Israel's flag"... can you imagine what israel-hating iraqis think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Terrible, terrible flag. The colours on it seem reminiscent of a country from Africa or the Caribbean, and the half moon reminds me of Turkey's flag. The old one isn't the greatest, but at least it's something I can identify with Iraq. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted April 28, 2004 let them vote. They might as well try their new democratic powers out on a minor issue Exactly. It makes no sense to let the flag be another issue the Iraqi people have with the US. I say let them submit their own designs and then let them vote on which is best.

Guest hunger4unger Report post Posted April 28, 2004 See, it's small things like this that are causing more hatred and tension in Iraq. (As well as killing civilians). Would it really have hurt to let Iraqi's have a vote or failing that, commision a group of Iraqi's to come up with one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
