[edit] Description
Flag of Iraq under the Qassem regime, 1959-1963, with a Kurdish-Arab peace sun in the shape of an eight-pointed star (sometimes likened to the ancient "Star of Ishtar" symbol). The flag uses the four Pan-Arab colors (in addition to yellow), but was intended to move away from explicit Pan-Arab or Nasserite symbolism.
According to http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA29306 and http://www.zaman.com/?bl=international&alt=&hn=36213 , Iraqi Kurds prefer this flag to the 1963-2006 forms of the Iraqi national flag (with their Pan-Arab and Ba`thist associations).
