Anti-Flag means the common people of the world are better off living in unity and peace. Anti-Flag means to stand against corporate greed that hurts millions while benefitting a handful of extremely rich. Anti-Flag means to fight against mindless nationalism. Anti-Flag means unity."

You have my unequivical support.
And to even more off-topic...
People tend to confuse wanting a better goverment with being anti-goverment. Fortunatley punk rock has always been on the front-lines of exposing the immorality of the goverment and the people that populate it.
By immorrality, I am not talking about boinking interns in the oval office(not immoral in MY book), but about corporate greed and influence that pervades our political system, particularly the military industrial complex that is a big cash cow for a select few industries during wartime. War means profits for big pigs and proliferates the idea that being antiwar ( or violence and death) is unpatriotic.
For example when we attack Iraq, it will be to secure resources and more defense funding and military employment for citizens. Otherwise we could tackle Saddam covertly seeing how he is the problem, but that wouldnt be profitable. Alas we will probably attack Iraq, fail to get Saddam(again) and Bush will be voted out (again). We could get stuck in a endless bush timeloop!!!!
