POPSRespect For The Flag It's all spelled out in Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1 (see http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode04/usc_sup_01_4_10_1.html).. (By the way, that's former President Bush desecrating a flag in that photo). This morning, in the neighborhood park where there was a fireworks display last night, dozens of rumpled flags were everywhere - on the ground, in trash cans, along with flag-imprinted paper plates, napkins and other such stuff. Take a look at one photographer's view of how the flag is respected at http://www.sethbutler.com/tattered/. Fortunately for the armchair patriots and chickenhawk generals, there are no criminal penalties associated with Title 4 USC1. If congress were to enact some stiff fines for violations, the federal defecit would disappear overnight. The full statute, also known as the Flag Code, can be found at http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode04/usc_sup_01_4_10_1.html.

POPSBush Administration Plans to Blame You for Iraq The article goes on to say: The United States in 2007? No, Wilhelmine Germany in 1917 and 1918, as its military dictators, Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg and his loyal second, General Erich Ludendorff, pushed Germany toward defeat and revolution in a relentless pursuit of victory in World War I. Having failed with their surge strategy on the Western Front in 1918, they nevertheless succeeded in deploying a stab-in-the-back myth, or Dolchstoßlegende, that shifted blame for defeat from themselves and Rightist politicians to Social Democrats and others allegedly responsible for losing the war by their failure to support the troops at home.
