When was the last time we saw non-Americans burning their own flag?
I remember back in '89 when the Romanians "defaced" their flag by cutting out the Communist party emblem. But ...that was different.

Just hours before Bush's arrival, hundreds of people demonstrated across Denmark, including in Copenhagen where about 200 protesters marched to the U.S. Embassy, chanting anti-American slogans and burning Danish and U.S. flags. |

Well, you can't accuse them of selective moralizaing. They recogize their nation's complicity in the war, and are responding accordingly. |
