Yes, it's true, I brought a U.S. flag to the nightly war protest, and it was to join in, not to "counter-protest".
The question is not, why did I bring our flag to the rally. The question is, why do you seem to think it belongs to the pro-war people?
Why didn't any of you bring a flag? Yes, the Earth-from-space photographic flag is nice, and so is the UN flag, and the rainbow PACE flag, but what about OUR flag?
Is this flag born in a leftist revolution against colonialism, the flag that smashed fascism and freed the slaves, not good enough for you?

I've seen American flags at anti-war protests here. Did you ask anyone why no one else had brought one?
I never did ask anybody why they didn't have one. Finally, I went and brought my own. And now I see by the Sunday paper that someone else brought the stars and stripes for the vigil on September 11th.
More on the Benton County Courthouse peace observance is posted above.
