british people killed in the recent terrorist attack, I'm sure the british people who post here would like to pay their respects to our dead also!

Zuni has already made it clear that the new icon was created because of the special circumstances, and that no more icons will be added.

Whether 10,000 people die in the U.S. or 10,000 people die in Cambodia, it seems like it shouldn't matter because it's 10,000 human beings, regardless. It does hit much closer to home, though.

an attack to US is an attack to all alliances.. (UN)

You should include a UN flag so we could all relate.. whether you're European, Korean (me) etc..

a Simple UN flag will represent ALL these nations as a whole

That is a great idea, it shouldn't be about what nationality you are because that doesn't matter. Most countries have victims of this cowardly attack and all countries should be represented equally.

I don't think we should have everyone dividing into nations by flag icons... it seems out of place.

I'd prefer some sort of universal icon for everyone to remember all the victims.

Ugh. I almost posted the biggest flamebait of my life. Let's just say I don't like the UN and leave it at that.

<< Give me a break. It was not your country that was bombed. >>



Does it really matter? It was an act against the human beings, no matter if Americans, Chinese, Swiss, Japanese or whatsoever....

True, but a UN flag or something would let us show our respect and that we are all united in this.

Hmm, nothing against the UN, but I'm a Canadian first and wouldn't consider the UN flag as a compromise. Why not just add all nations flags to the icon database?
