Iraq parliament approves new flag

[Јas]

So it goes from Saddam's handwriting to possibly the ugliest version of Arabic script I've ever seen. Wonderful.

Also note the dropping of the three stars to represent the Sunnis, Shi'as and Kurds.

"But the stars that represented the ideology of the Baath party - unity, freedom and socialism - will be removed" - from the BBC Article

Seems to be also only a temporary flag anyway. New design should be forthcoming next year.
