Beyond supporting individual rights to display flags other than the American flag, speakers discussed current issues of world peace, the Iraq war, and the Bush administration.

Speakers pointed out that war in Iraq had in fact destroyed the peace, where until recently peace had been maintained successfully through actions of the United Nations such as trade sanctions and weapons inspections.















Most speakers emphasized that the Bush administration has been a poor practitioner of morality and justice, and that Bush administration actions have been harmful to our security, our economic well-being, and our civil rights. Furthermore, pointing this out is a patriotic duty directed toward the best interests of our nation.
