		The current flag is all what we know and have known all our lives, it cannot be changed just like that, I agree with those who say, it should not be changed yet, until we have a free elected government and parliament, and Iraq is Free from foreign occupation.
		The Iraqi flag must change if we are to advance to a new era combining all the Iraqis and their efforts to rebuild the cradle of civilization.
		The new flag is much better then the old one, but in my opinion there should bee a much more representative symbol of Kurdish people and Kurdistan in the new flag.

		In New Zealand, the controversy comes from another source: the design is almost identical to one that has been championed for thirty years by a New Zealand designer for a new New Zealand flag.
		The New Zealander (whose name escapes me, and I'll have to look it up, sorry!) appeared on New Zealand Television in 1967 with his design, which is identical with the exception of the colour and shape of the Southern Cross (which in the New Zealand flag is four five-pointed red stars outlined in white).
