As a flag-waving, patriotic all American radical lefty, I would (and have!) heartily and loudly disapprove. I want to _remove_ the stains from my flag, not add new ones. ---

Suppose someone in the mid-east set fire to an American flag (I know, I know, it’s too far fetched) do you think that Americans would storm the embassy of the country that happened in and kill a couple of people before being forced back at gun point? Of course we will never know, because no one in the mid-east would ever do something like that because they have too much respect for the values of other people. If only the west was as respectful of other’s sensitivities as middle easterners are. GASP! I know you not, but my hat is off to you! That was beautiful!
