Haqi, I have some emotional regard to the US flag, because I am a naturalized US citizen. I chose to swear to pledge allegiance to the flag and all it stand for. I am not sure if natural born US citizens have to go thru such a formal ritual. I am also not sure if it is approprite to send someone to death for desecrating the flag.

For those who choose to desecrate the flag, I am certain in my view that either your "last known" pledge of allegiance is in place, or is not. Any person who desecrates the flag should be asked "where is your allegiance", and after that an appropriate course of action can be determined.

In no circurmstance, should it be "scott free".

PS: Someone here in Aus tore my US flag apart. I was angry for a few days. Then I ordered a new one from the US, it flies in my backyard, and will do so till I leave for the US.

PPS: I am also a NZ citizen, and I can see Mq's POV, although I appreciate it is difficult to understand from a US citizen POV.
