When I saw this photo on a Washington Post article about a Latino museum on the Washington Mall I was struck by the thought of the divide of people in the United States.  American flags displayed by the opponents and each side claiming the other side determined to destroy the country.

A sad commentary for the wealthiest nation in the world.
