The Confederate flag stands for civil disobedience against the state, and secession. Are those not treasonous acts? Assume for the moment I agree that civil disobedience against the state and secession ARE acts of treason. It does not follow that flying the Confederate flag is an act of treason. Actually, I don't care much but I may buy a Confederate flag and burn it on the streets as an act of something.....I am not sure what! Just kidding! Seriously, where do you think the UN goes from here? Its sounding like they may be agreeing to issue an ultimatum to Saddam......go on Iraqi tv and admit your hiding weapons and say where they are, and we will will not depose you. If the Sec. Council agrees to that ultimatum, do you think it will chill Bush and satisfy his moral obligation to see the right thing done? TIA. ted
