You could ask the same of Italy.\n\nIt's because it looks better than a big red dot.\n\nps. Australia's colours are green and gold and that's what we wear in sports.  But our flag is red, white and blue.

Yes. Every since the attack people are buying more flags, shirts, bumper stickers, name it and it's got a flag and God bless America on it. I can't stand it. I've always loved my country and supported our troops not just after we went to war or were attacked. They remind me of fair weather fans in sports. Only really being a fan when a teams winning or a teams popularity rises.
