"We should be raising the older Iraqi Flag, the one without the writing between the stars followed by the US Flag under it."

NO ! NO !

The Stars ansd Stripes NEVER fly lower than another flag ; Fly the old Iraq fly on the same level with the U.S. flag ; that is enough courtesy, plus an affirmation of regime change.

Flag rules say that the flag of a country flies above, or higher if multiple flag poles, then the other flags. It would be disrespectful to fly Stars and Strips above.

I've seen the Stars and Stripes flying below the Canadian flag when I make trips to Canada.
