Re: recapture the flag

I think the above post by mikeksf hit the problem right on!
But regarding the recapture of the ailing, bloody and oiled-up flag, my question is "what does it stand for?" When I see the flag, I see dead and wounded Iraqi children, mothers and old people.
I see the disruption of five million Iraqi families now living without the comfort of their homes. Everything I see is the kind of stuff one would not want his flag to represent, but surely our flag represents all this. So I ask again, for what does our flag stand for?
