The vexillologist in me is raging. Don't put writing on flags!

Am I the only one that sees this?

I LOVE IT! A++++++++++++++++ Would salute to it again!

oldebayer: The ironic thing is there's no mention of a single incident of burning the new flag in protest. Maybe they are simply all out of matches from all the American flags they've burned over the years.

Actually, both flags say "Allah is Great" on 'em.

Burning a flag that sez that means being stoned to death and not in a good way.

Think the point to getting rid of the old flag was the fact that one of the three green stars stood fer "Socialism". When the entire raison d'etre of the Iraqi War was to de-nationalise the oilfields that change makes nothing but sense.

/Nice color scheme. You know who else went with a Red, White and Black flag?

This explains the stupidity of the old new Iraqi flag. OK, so it does have the Israeli color scheme, and I'm sure Wolfowitz absolutely loved it. Zionist conspiracy? I doubt it. Was the guy who conquered Iraq a Jew? Yes.

All I really see is the U.S.'s massive arrogance in proposing that as a flag. What an incredible insult

quatchi: /Nice color scheme. You know who else went with a Red, White and Black flag?

Pretty much every country in the Arab world?

Riche: Cagey B: Ooo ooo! Can we have "God is Great" written in Mike Huckabee's handwriting on our flag?

Actually, I'm a little surprised the social conservatives haven't tried to slap "In God We Trust" somewhere on the flag in the past seven years or so.

If the courts have (somehow) decided "In God We Trust" is NOT a religious statement and can be put on our money, then why not?

It IS the official national motto, after all.

Maybe that's because adding the national motto to the flag is as equally tedious and retarded as removing the motto from everything else. Did you have another theory?

pxlboy: you know who else hates their flag?

/not me
//some idiots in this state still care

What state flies that flag?

if_i_really_have_to: How is that flag allowed? You can't have or on argent. Metal should not cover metal, nor tincture cover tincture. Anyone heraldry-geekier that can explain how this is allowed in a sane world?

I'm both geeky and sleep-deprived enough to answer that.

It's a borderline case, because the or does sit on top of the colors at the top and bottom; whether that was allowed or not depends entirely on where you're looking at.

In any case, there's plenty of precedent for throwing the rules out entirely for flags. Argentina, Cyprus, Egypt, Tajikistan, The Phillipines, and Uruguay already have or-on-argent charges on their flags. Also, Albania, Bangladesh, Guinea-Bissau, Malawi, and Morocco have color-on-color. And Malta has the distinction of having argent-on-argent (silver-gray on white). At this point, it's a bit late to complain even if there was someone to complain to.

How about we get the troops out and hold a Civil war this year? Winner gets to pick the new flag.

Ha now it is slightly more readable

America is great!

otofx: It ain't worth it.

Ill see you a fark this, and raise you a fark mods:



Flag to be censored in 5, 4, 3, 2....

Corvus: "It's shameful. Thousands of Iraqis lost their lives so this flag could fly.... Changing the flag ignores their sacrifice,"

At least it's good to see we are not the only country with nationalistic idiots.

We fight for the country or freedoms not for a stupid piece of cloth.

Says you. The American Flag tells me exactly how to behave everyday. Sometimes I go outside and wave at strangers who hate me all day, sometimes I fold myself up into a paper football and sleep in a glass case. But I am NEVER, and I mean NEVER to touch the ground, lest I be burned ceremoniously.

Wait a sec...if the only newsworthy event in Iraq is the "silent protesting" due to the adoption of a new flag, what the f**k are we still doing there?

Dr_Syko: Did anyone else read the article, and think of the debates about Georgia's flag?

You have to admit, we've had some experience in the matter.

Good enough

Hazard91AWD: It's a farking flag. seriously. who gives a fark? I could givea shiat less if our country even had a farking flag.
fark!

You have to have a flag to be a real country. Ask India.

THe symbol on the right looks like the stakcs at an oil refinery

Captain Darling: Whereas if the USA needed a new flag for some reason, I'm sure a sensible consensus would be reached immediately and without acrimony of any kind.



All depends on how many guns are pointed at the dissenters.

/Only slightly obscure. At least by Fark standards.

OMFG!! WTF!! It has powder blue colors kinda like the jooo flag, what an insult!

Yeah, I too threw out the South Park flag the last time this subject came up.

But, I can now proudly show off:
