Because I don't think it is as clear as the swastika example, I'm not sure you are right. The flag is a symbol that people feel really different about depending on their historic and political outlook. I don't want to spend even more time and energy in Georgia on the flag since it's simply a symbolic, rather than real issue, and so the present flag is a step forward in that regard. But it also allows people to tell themselves that we may be further along than we really are, and that there's a consensus that doesn't really exist.
