Can I just point out that the swastika is a 5000 year old symbol of luck. They are all over India and prominently displayed on most religious sites and people's houses.

Would anyone care to argue that Indians and others should be allowed to display swatikas when they are in the West? Afterall, 5000 years as a symbol of luck shouldn't be spoiled by 13 years of racism after being missapropriated by a group of bad apples, should it?
