The controversy of the flags on the soccer balls reminded me of the controversies involving our own flag placed in inappropriate places back in the 60's. Basically some wold get pissed off that others were putting American flag patches on the butts of their jeans. Now you see American flags on all sorts of clothes. Goes to show how reading another culture requires constant updating. Thanks for the link to the HTS paper. Only 1 in Afghanistan and 4 in Iraq. We need more, especially in France. THough we aren't militarially involved there it would help to know what in the world they are thinking. This is quite interesting.
