IRAQ: VEXED BY VEXILLOLOGY?

1921-1958
1958-1963
Take it as granted that giving Iraq a new flag right now was a dumb idea. In case you're interested, here is a good history on what the flag of Iraq looked like prior to the 1963 Baathist redesign. You'll note they've kept the Kurdish yellow, but precious little else. Seems to me they could have just gone back to one of those, but what would I know?
