BAGHDAD, April 26 -- It was supposed to be the perfect symbol for a new and unified Iraq: an Islamic crescent on a field of pure white, with two blue stripes representing the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and a third yellow stripe to symbolize the country's Kurdish minority.

But the new national flag, presented Monday after an artistic competition sponsored by the Iraqi Governing Council, appears to have met with widespread public disapproval here...

Considering I posted links to back-up my assertion that the government deliberately chose a path of currency devaluation, it is indicative of the sorry state this forum is sinking to. Rather than talk about the facts, many here simply do a mindless denunciation routine if they disagree.

And yet you've been here since 1997? I'd say that's a bit more sorry than occasional flame wars on a forum. You need a hobby.

And you've been here since 98. So what's your point?

BTW I have lots of hobbies as if that's relevant.

while the poster may be a troll, the fact remains that this new flag is crap - no one I know or work with likes it.
In fact all the whole things done is piss people off.
