Resembles some of centro-asian states' flags. But the previous was very like syrian, birthplace of BAAS party by the way, an much more. Better for originality, even Slovenia is going to change its flag as it looks very like our one, and we have too powerful nationalists ;D . I hope we will change our one once too, as it still looks like russian one. Still better than red-white-black, colors of nazi-era Germany banner...

Yay! I can't even think about the massacre in Fallujah now that there's a FLAG to look at! Whee! Look at it go! I guess the governing council isn't a totally ineffective waste of protein!

Right... let's move on to the next issue here. Some Arabs have complained that the flag looks too much like the Israelian flag.

It may have some form of it, but not quite. It looks more like a flag of a hospital organization or something like that.

That's not what the flag is for, Dan, and you know it. Besides, how could the governing council handle the Fallujah situation? What resources do they have besides their political word? They have already condemnded it, and the only means they have to crush the insurrection is to call on US forces... which are currently already engaged.

I think the flag should have been selected by the new Iraqi-elected government, but would it really make that much of a difference?

Well from looking at this new flag we can guess that someone has a Mac and a slight admiration of the Israeli flag. The Governing Council has made no friends with this new flag what is the flag suppose to mean the two blue stripes are the Tigris and Euphrates but why is the yellow stripe that represents the Kurds is in the middle? Why use those colors anyway what about the Pan-Arab colors. I know this is suppose to be the new Iraq but this flag does not represent all of Iraq what about the Turcomans, Assyrian Christians and the Yezedis just to name a few. Iraq has a large Kurdish minority but still they are not the only Iraqis. Anyway what was wrong with the old Iraqi flag minus the Saddam addition?

Fedaykin, are you telling me that the American senate circulated French jokes? That's ridiculous... one would imagine that they have better things to do than insult the French?

How many people work in the senate?

So they have plenty of time to insult the French ;)

Are you sure ? Maybe now, but 1 year ago, it was that !

Verry funny :D

THAT one was funny. The others... weren't. Humour is helped if there is some basis in fact.

Before the war, I didn't kown that we were surrending specialists !

My point is simply that the adoption of a new flag is not newsworthy in comparison to all the problems Iraq is still facing. I don't see why the Governing Council is debating about what color to make the flag when it could be... oh, I don't know... running the country.

Symbols are important and they needed one. Perhaps others disagree, but the logic is there. Personally I think they should have kept the old one, made it a new symbol. Reinvent the same old flag as people reinvent everything else around them...

But chips, I think, were a Belgian invention.

EDIT: Sorry, 'fries' to the non-British.

Or "frites" for the French

It was what I mean ! It's belgian !

And Potatoes were imported from America in France by Parmentier (the origin of the Hachis Parmentier)!

If the French feel offended that Americans renamed a primarily American food, then they are overly sensitive, and probably have insecurity issues.

Furthermore, I still think that the French are more associated with the concept of surrender and white flags than most countries, including the United States.
