Yes, I guess we all suffer the sins of our forefathers, but that does not change things nor does it justify them. A flag is strickly symbolic for the country it represents. I agree, war does not solve anything, but as long as we are there, we need to try to right things, even if they were for the wrong purpose. Complaining about things in the past, will not help. Leave slavery alone, I believe we have learned that lesson. Forget the Indians, they have suffered enough. Lets make it right for the few remaining descendants that they have. We need to concentrate on getting our country out of Iraq, and everone else's business. Let the UN handle it like it should. My suggestion for the two posts above, is shake hands and try to get along. Life is to short, to live in the past.
