Is that your rebuttal? Anyways, both flags obviously have two meanings behind them. One good and one not so good. I don't see anything wrong with flying a flag for luck or pride. Some people will probably look at an American flag and think of it as a symbol for bombing innocent people. Just because followers of that flag did something, that doesn't mean that's what the flag is all about though. Right now, the US flag could be thought of as a symbol of torture, imperialism, and corruption. ;) Very true, but don't think too highly of your British Empire, sir. ;)
