Strong reactions to Montrose flag controversy - latimes.com
Last week, Out There visited the community of Montrose. There, activists gather weekly to protest the war in Iraq. Each week, before the protest begins, one local resident lowers an American flag that flies the rest of the week at the intersection -- to protest the fact that the activists choose to gather at the site of a Vietnam War memorial. Some readers argued that the flag does not belong to people with certain political beliefs, but to everyone. Others said the antiwar protesters are unpatriotic and do not deserve to gather under the flag. A sample of reader response:
