I dunno, but losing most of my Jewish family to the nazis somehow makes me see things differently from you on this issue.

It's not "just a symbol"; to the survivors, it's a reminder of the horrors of the death camps, and to their relatives, it's a reminder of, well, nobody really, since they have nobody left to be reminded of.

I'm not saying Microsoft should ban it (or not), I'm just saying it goes a bit deeper than you might suspect.

Oh. Ok. So if Sadaam had used the American Flag as a symbol of his dictatorship, does that mean the USA should give the flag up because it's been used by a bad guy? I don't think so.

BTW, the cross has been used by the KKK since they were founded. I guess the christians had better find a new symbol before they upset people, eh?
