United Nations Flag causes Flap on College Campus

A group is asking the University of Southern Indiana to remove a United Nations flag from its Evansville campus.

The newly formed U-S Sovereignty Coalition says the U-N flag has no place on a state-funded campus.

The group's president Larry Young says the Sovereignty Coalition was formed in response to community concerns about the presence of the flag at U-S-I. Y

Young says his group has the support of area Veterans of Foreign War posts, the U-S-I College Republicans, Tri-State Men's Ministry and the Indiana Purple Heart Veterans.

University President Ray Hoops says he understands the group's frustration, but he has no plans to remove the flag.

The U-N flag has been on the campus since 1969.

The UN could be useful in some our future humanitarian work.

Absolutley under no circumstances should they be allowed anthing more than the regional administration of said work.

No way in hell do they get any 'say so'

The idea of burning the UN flag at pro-American rallies is FANTASTIC!

Before we get too mad at Colin Powell, keep in mind that this is the New York Times, desperately trying to make trouble.

It is certainly possible. But as far as I know, all Powell has said is that the UN is welcome to give the Iraqis humanitarian aid. Running the place is another matter.

It's always possible that the State Department will run amok, but let's not believe anything the Times says until we've seen some confirmation.

I would pay more attention to what Powell said, versus what the European media says Powell said or what Powell agreed to about the UN.

You'll want to read this outstanding article explaining why the U.N. can't take the lead in Iraq's reconstruction.

It's about corruption. The only reason the really mean it when they say, US Warned That Oil Cannot Provide Funds, is because of the amount these crooks intend to siphon off for themselves.

free and united Iraq will begin. A peaceful, prosperous Iraq which will
be run by and for the Iraqi people, not by America, not by Britain,
not by the U.N."
