A web site, http://peaceflags.org , is
offering American peace flags -- Betsy Ross style
flags with the 50 stars in the shape of a peace
symbol. It is a means for people to show
patriotism without apparently showing support for
war, something many flag bearers in this country
have been conflicted about. So many Americans
following the attacks have wanted to express
sadness and show solidarity -- as Katha Pollitt
wrote in last week's "Nation Magazine", the
American flag is the only available symbol -- but
have worried that waving a flag means joining in
on the cries for retaliatory bloodshed. There
is more discussion about this at the site,
http://peaceflags.org (note that peaceflags is plural)
