So, I heard on BBC radio, where I get almost 90% of my news, that a bunch of folks on the leadership council in Iraq just up and picked a new flag but, didn’t ask anyone what they thought… they just sort of did it. The people don’t like it but, the council seems pretty happy with themselves.
What a mess but, see for yourself.
First off, the crescent is the same blue as the Israeli flag, not a good idea. The two blue lines reflect the Tigris and Euphrates… why? Finally the yellow line in the middle represents the Kurds. Great but, they aren’t the only group of people there.
Why alienate and anger and further divide an already alienated, angry and divided people? Dangerous stuff but, not at all suprising.
