87. Guess one could say the same about the american flag then
From Iraq to racism to environmental to even slavery in the old US. I guess the question is which flag represented more 'evil' (if you will) or still does.

Before we see the mote in the eye of the confederate flag maybe we should see the one in ours first.

To US it might represent freedom, et al, to others it may represent oppression. So do we display a flag because of what it means to us or do we hide it because of what others think it means?
