[Peace] Re: [Peace-discuss] Re: misgivings on Iraq War: A Four Year Reflection

This seems like a nice idea to me. What is the death ratio? Something like 100,000 to 3,000 or 100 to 3? I’m sure that Iraqi flags are hard to come by, especially tiny ones, but I could imagine a display or poster exhibiting 97 Iraqi flags and three US flags along with the explanation that while it would be impossible for a flag to be displayed for each victim of the war, this was the symbolic proportion of all those that should be mourned – or something like that.

options that Martin proposed, and which I am highly in favor of, namely

would be an unreasonable burden on any group or coalition, I feel that 
if an alternative to American flags is not decided on, the least we can 
do is add Iraqi flags to signify a certain number of Iraqi deaths. 
While the loss of American servicemen and women is tragic, the loss of 
any life is also tragic, and we cannot forget the tragic death of over 
650,000 Iraqis.
