I think this bill is good idea. We should only fly United States flag at diplomatic posts. But what about other flags? How will this affect relationships with other countries?

I can't believe this bill is trying to ban other flags from being flown at US diplomatic posts. It's just not right. This is going to cause a lot of issues in the short term.
