What concerns me is the fear these symbols must stir in the countries which ban them.
So what if some stupid neo-nazi wants to wave a swastika? good, lets me know who the bad guys are.
It leads me to believe that there is some fear that these symbols hold the power to raise the dead and ignite lost causes. Let the idiots have their hate symbol, but allow everyone to view history as it was, both the good and the bad sides of it.
But then again, thats probably my ethnocentrism speaking. Its such a basic violation of how I view Freedom of Speech as an American.
