It's a mix of the Assyrian and the Old Kurdish flag. Because I don't believe in Iraq, but I do believe Assyrians and Kurdish people can live in peace.
The black stands for the old religion of the Kurds, the sun also. The Assyrian symbol inside the Kurdish sun stands for the new unity between the Assyrians and Kurds.

:wink:

How I think the New Iraq Flag should look/resemble:



Image



The symbolic value:

The two blue lines - are the Tigris and the Euphrates.

One river (Tigris) is stained with > Blood...

One river (Euphrates) has green banks - the rich soil of Iraq...

The two rives form the letter
"V" for VICTORY.




The colours:

Black for the "Mountains"...

White for "The land between to rivers"...

Green for the "Marshes"...





The symbols:

The Sun for the Kurds.

Ashur for the Assyrians.

Blue Moon for the Turkmen.

Black, Green, Burgois and White - in unity represent Arabs.

Just save a flag to your "My pictures" area in the "My documents" area - and then right click on it to choose "edit" - and start editing the flag as you want it to be... :wink:

Good luck!

Yes - it WILL BE... If you just go ahead and do as I instructed - you CAN remove the OLD flag - by cutting it out and pressing delete on your keyboard... Then you will start from scratch...
:roll:

Just do it - you'll see what options you have there in the "editing room"... :shock:
