I would remind you both that we are members, (and big supporters), of the UN.
To some degree, therefore, it also represents us. And to a large degree it still represents a hope for a peaceful future. (A slim hope, to be sure.)
The notion that punishing the symbol of a thing as a means of punishing the thing, is "magical" thinking. But if it entertains you to do so, enjoy yourselves.
Well, thank you sooooooooooooo much. I will sleep better tonight knowing that you encourage my participation in free speech. Oh dear me, I don't know what I would do without kind considerate people like y'all.

You NEEDN'T remind ME that we are members, and big supporting members of the U.N. Sheesh! And as for flags, I would have no hesitation to burn a communist flag or a nazi flag. There were good people in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. Those flags represented those people too. As for any "hope" for the future where the U.N. is concerned, I can only judge by the past and present, and on balance the U.N. has been a failure and a waste of money. I detest the leadership and their anti-U.S. bias. I will place my hopes in the United States for a peaceful future, and not the United Nations. Screw the United Nations. I hope we withdraw, and form a new United Nations of Democracies.
