Bordel de Saddam


Vivement que l'Irak rejoigne l'Europe. Remarquez, comme la France risque de ne pas en faire partie, ça évitera les conflits d'intérêts.

J'en suis tombé sur le cul. Vous le saviez vous que l'Irak avait un nouveau drapeau? C'est en discutant sur Deviantart avec un soldat américain que j'ai appris ça. Bon le truc est super moche et je comprends que les irakiens en veulent pas mais ça je lui ai pas dit, pas envie d'être réveillé un jour par des gars de l'US army. J'ai beau être réceptionniste de guerre, je ne veux pas avoir de problèmes en dehors des heures de boulot. Voilà en gros ce qu'il dit:

(GI Joe (c'est pas son vrai pseudo, hein, je métaphorise un max là))- The flag represents the new Iraqi flag chosen by their new officials. There is a problem there-in, many Iraqis HATE it for two major reasons: 1. It bares resemblance to the Israeli flag, and 2. Many of the older, more conservative Iraqis are pissed that their old flag is being replaced by a new governments flag that they don't like. Thing is, the old flag is now associated with Saddam, which means mass murdur, religious racism, persecution, and fear. The need for a new flag was clear and evident.Keep in mind that while this flag did not ALWAYS fly under Saddam, the old flag did not always fly for that land. Persian times, Mesopotamian times marked some of the most glorious and proflific periods of these peoples time, and that flag did not represent them. A flag is a flag, and the Black, White, and Red one has become a symbol of a governments horrible failure. The new flag represents a new hope for the Iraqi people, a new beginning.

(Tranxenne) - I didn't know the flag changed. Thanks for your explanations. However, you say very accurately that "Persian times, Mesopotamian times marked some of the most glorious and proflific periods of these peoples ", thus maybe a flag chosen from thes times would have been embraced more widely by Iraqis.

(GI Joe)- Flags have historically been involved in most civilizations since incredibly early times, however I suppose it is true that mesopotamia did not have a flag (a simple google search would probably tell us, but I'm being lazy ). However, Persia did have a flag (more than 1 I believe).The problem is, during these more ancient times I think it was more common for flags to be representative of a king (sheik), rather than the nation as a whole, and any symbolism that might be derived would be fairly obscure, and worse - meaningless to certain groups. These are people with an ancient culture, and I'm sure there was a hundred and one reasons not to use a certain sheik's flag vs another ones, or even an image on it.At any rate, the new flag is supposed to represent a new beginning, a chance to start fresh.

Je suis plutôt d'accord mais le drapeau reste outrancièrement moche (en plus bleu et jaune ne me semblent pas être des couleurs très prisées au Moyen-Orient, allez savoir pourquoi)

Comments:

I drop a comment when I like a post on a website or I have something to contribute to the conversation.
Usually it is caused by the passion communicated in the article I browsed.
And after this post Untitled. I was actually moved enough to drop a thought :
-P I do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do
not mind. Is it just me or does it seem like a few of the remarks
appear as if they are left by brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I
would like to keep up with anything new you have to post.
Could you list the complete urls of all your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
