I want an updated Iraqi flag.

[lord of the mark]

The Iraqi flag available on 'poly is the one instituted in 1991, when the arabic words "allahu Akhbar" were added to the flag (among the three stars). While there is nothing wrong with that phrase per se, IIUC many Iraqis see it as the "Saddam" flag. The Coalition Provisional Authoriy displays the flag minus the inscription on the home page of their website.

Im not sure if this was initiated by the CPA, or by the Iraqi Governing Council. That flag should be available here.

I realize that web references still show the 1991 flag. Even the CPA site, in its info section, simply copies the Iraq section from the CIA world factbook, which has not been updated.

If 'poly is unwilling to replace the 1991 flag, would it be possible to include both? So those of us wish to express our solidarity with the IGC and the new forces in Iraq may do so, while those who wish to express their solidarity with the Saddam regime may also do so.

I'm sure that this will be high on Mark and Dan's list of things to do

Hmm. I don't know if Markos or Dan have access to an "anarchy" flag, do they?

Do you mean to imply, sir, that Christmas smilies are anything other than essential to the functioning of the site?

I thought we already had Old Glory?

This troll is about as old as Iraq itself. Meaning it's lost its effectiveness

And if you want to add flags....

Can you add the flag of each of Russia's oblasts, one of the Soviet union, and the flag of each Soviet republic?
Also, I'd like the Korean reunification flag and the Asian flag as well.
Perhaps you can add the flag of Utah.

Comrade, why do you have Chile's flag?

[Verto]

I'd go for this flag.

Because you have America's flag.

Because it's the prettiest (sp?) flag in the whole wide world

the flags are not there to express solidarity rather than origin/location

if there is a new iraqi flag on the UN site, send me a link....
