Terry,
I don't think you have to go to Asia for examples. The documentaries
I have seen and the the books I have read point out that our own
native American population could be offended by the American flag.
However, that is a whole nuther issue. It doesn't change the issue
about the Confederate flag.

It would be interesting to know how people actually talk about
these points. It would be useful to know more than what a sound bite
on the evening news provides.
