Slightly OT:
The belligerent burning of US flags has always seemed a bit funny to me, since in the US (and the West in general), burning* is considered the most respectful* method of disposing of old national flags!
* Okay, technically "incineration" - the flag is neatly folded and fed respectfully into the furnace, not waved around or jumped on while alight (the important thing is the national flag doesn't end up sharing a rubbish dump with a pile of rotting food scraps or used as an oil rag, hence the preference for incineration).
Biting the hand that feeds IT
