This is just so sad. Regardless of anyone's political leanings, or feelings about the war, this was a memorial that could speak to everyone.
If you are against the war - the number of flags is truly amazing - and a visual reminder of the losses suffered.
If you have lost someone in this war - the flags are a memorial to their loss and your pain.
Either way, the flags were a peaceful, powerful comment on our collective loss and the price we're all paying every day.
As the article said - it was probably kids - and I can only hope they can come to realize the horror the rest of us feel at their actions. I hope they feel the full weight of guilt and pain that others who see the destruction feel.
(And I hope, if their parents find out about their involvement, that punishment will be swift and effective. This is NOT acceptable by anyone!)
