France is right and wrong. The US is right and wrong.
If you support France, you are an un-patriotic asshole and a hero. If you support the US, you are a patriot and a coward.
We know why the flags are missing and we dont know why they are.
We've indentified that most people are not capable of anything coming close to a clear, concise, relevant argument, instead, basing any and all 'logic' on sentiments and emotions.
If the French did take down the flags, that was pretty Crass. But so are American sentiments expressing the desire to 'bring the boys home', or other equally trite drivel.
The French chose not to support a war (that as it turns out, was waged on the premise that IRAQ had weapons of mass destruction, which have yet to be found) that they did not agree with. So did Canada, so did Russia, so did Germany, so did most of the western world. Everyone but Britain pretty much said "thanks, but no," as is their rights as independent and sovereign nations. Here in Canada, we are facing unofficial trade sanctions. We know how the average American treats the French. It's the same for other countries.
We chose not to support an unjust and unilateral war, which is our right, and the Americans are shitting their pants over it, like they always do.
French take down the flag? Well, good sir, its the end of the world. Never mind the fact that their is no obligation to keep it flying...
Plane flies into a building? Well, good sir, its the end of the world. Never mind the fact that Europe has had to deal with terrorism on far larger a scale. Ireland? (Please note, I am not disrespecting the deaths of any of the 3,000-5,000 people who died in the attack, merely stating the fact that America over reacts to everything)
In conclusion, I dont know if the flags were removed for sinister reasons. None of us do.
These photos were and werent doctored.
