Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
The decision to take the flag down was the same as the reason the coalition forces were ordered not to prominantly display US flags on their battle vehicles. It's in deferance to the sensibilities of the Iraqi citizens. Since this isn't a war about taking and keeping ground in the name of the US, but about removing the current regime from power and allowing the Iraqi's to rule themselves.
