You should have just burnt the ugly stripey bit, and kept
the nice stars. Or is it the other way around?

I don't think that flag-burning is very helpful. It is
generally so emotive that the act obscures the point being
made. Flag burning is useful in the main for only one
purpose -- to whip up emotions so as to obscure the real
issues and short circuit rational debate. Another strategy
on the same lines is the "wrapping yourself in the flag"
version, but I guess you'll leave that to Bush.
