The new flag didn't win over the public. A better compromise would be allowing each region to fly their own flags.

The Iraqis were expressing dismay with the new flag back in April. Said it too closely resembles Israel's colors.

That Israeli flag was DOA. I don't think the flag you fly is that big of an issue, unless you are an American Southerner :)

I wonder if anyone, an enterprising Freeper out there can photoshop (Adobe) the Iraqi flag below, but take out the Arabic between the starts, and put in
