Please, America, Hide Your Flag!
I'm talking about the upcoming World Cup in Berlin ... German security has asked the American team to use unmarked buses for fear of violence against any vehicle displaying the American flag.
Just America was asked to slink around Germany anonymously. Not Iran. Not North Korea. Not Libya. Not Communist China. Not Syria. Not even countries that have almost as many torture chambers as we have voting booths were asked to strike their colors and go bland.
The rest of this commentary by Barry Farber is well worth reading. He describes a trek across Europe he took shortly after WWII.
Just because someone hates you doesn't mean what you are doing is wrong - it very well could mean what you are doing is right. Doing the right thing is often a swim upstream.
