These are the Iraqi civilian peace flags, and they have gone up every year since 2005 on the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. There are a few blue ones in there to represent US deaths, but since the majority of war death are civilians, most of the flags are white. They say: "this is a remembrance of the Iraqi Civilians Casualties. May they rest in Peace. May their country find Peace.
I have written the names of Iraqi academics killed by violence since 2003 on the back of some of them. I think I will add the names of the Iraqi journalists and media workers who were killed also.
This will come down on 3/22/09.
