Would there be outrage from folks at all? I think it would be met with international outrage.

I hate to use names - but just imagine in Congress, 6 members of the republican party, bring into the chamber an Iranian flag. The during discussions, they start to chant "Death to Iran" and outright burn their flag. Just imagine the responses that would come, from our media, and international media.

But Iran does it, and it's just another day?

Iran Politicians Burn U.S. Flag, Vow ‘Death to America’ and Response ‘Zionists will Regret’

Politicians in Iran have set a U.S. flag ablaze and chanted “Death to America” after Donald Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal.
The lawmakers also torched a symbolic copy of the Iran deal before vowing to increase spending on the country’s ballistic missile program.

The furious demonstration in the Iranian parliament reflected broad public anger in the country after Mr. Trump called the deal a “horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made.”

Parliament speaker Ali Larijani said Iran could return to its nuclear program, but would hold off at first on withdrawing from the nuclear pact.

“With a national consensus, we will give the U.S. and Zionists a response that they will regret,” he said, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency.

There's your answer from the other thread, Pete. They want to kill all of us. But I can't want to kill them first because that's wrong? Right?

Your colors are showing :rolleyes:

Cultural differences make it acceptable for their politicians to perform stunts like this. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's not like it's the first time an irate crowd of Iranians burned a U.S. flag...

Besides, the flag was probably made in China...
