In listening to the Larry Elder Show today, an Admiral - who Larry was interviewing - was talking about American flags being raised all over Iraq and then taken down. He mentioned that we might appear to be the conquerors(?) and that other Foreign Nations would be pointing their fingers. In thinking about this, I had this idea that I thought I'd run by my fellow Freepers!

Their flag could be flown on the higher level and the Stars and Stripes a little below

No flag flies higher than the US flag according to the US flag code.

"What if we had Iraqi flags made up with the word FREEDOM sewn across it?"

Not a good idea - Would we like to receive an American flag with .. oh, say .. "Thanks" in Arabic sewn over it ?

We are cultural and religious outsiders who will be looked upon as conquers. There is nobody I would trust in the middle east as being better than Hussein. It's an intrinsically corrupt and nutty area. Let's knock of Hussein and his pals. Destroy any weapons development. Then let's get the hell out and quaranteen the area. Anything else is a losing cause.

The only thing I would add is, any other screwups are likely to get the same treatment.

I think FREE IRAQ is a better choice.

Great idea, but lets expand on that. Lets start waving the Freedom or Free Iraq Iraqi flags at our support the troops rally. We should support the troops and the Free Iraq that they are bringing to the Iraqi people. This theme would look good for PR on world TV.

Let's all be friends!

I think the Iraqis should pick their own flag. Wouldn't want them to be picking our flag.
