Saddam wouldn't allow burning of Iraq's flag. China doesn't either.

1. Yea, but...

Well, if you look at it this way the flag is suppose to represent the people of said country. Now burning it would mean that you have something against the people, which isn't right. Altough, if this flag doesn't represent the people anymore, of course something needs to be done other than burning your usurpated flag.

"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."

3. You know, though, I'm kinda opposed lighting stuff on fire regardless.

I think there are safer ways to protest than burning things.
