The Confederate Battle Flag (commonly called the Southern Cross) was first designed during the American Civil War (in 1861) by the Army of Northern Virginia. The 13 stars on the flag symbolize the original 11 US confederate states plus Kentucky and Missouri. 146 years later, the flag has found a new home. It is being used as decoration in a village fruit shop outside Islamabad. Wonder if the shopkeeper knows about the flag?

I always thought the “Southern Cross” referred to the stars on the Australian flag , as this constellation is only visible in the Southern hemisphere
Fits right in with the colorful fruit!
This is almost as absurd as having Mickey Mouse on the Pakistani flag.
Perhaps he is in Southern Pakistan? Perhaps he is making the statement that he disagrees with a over-powerful and meddlesome Central Government that taxes it’s citizens into the poor house? Perhaps his favorite American Football team is the Ol Miss Rebels?
Long may it wave!

I think its time to introduce a Pakistani character in ‘King of the Hill’ just like the simpsons has its ‘Apu’ ….
Hey! He’s from the other side of the tracks, so to speak, but the Pittsburgh Steelers helmet decal used to be a favourite with our well-heeled crowd, too–I never got a feel for how many of them could even name the team…
Maybe he’s a Dukes of Hazard fan?
