Do you even have to ask this? Just go ahead and do it. A nation is a nation.

Why would a map of Iraq be insensitive? And insensitive to whom exactly?

I think The middle east would make a good map.

I dont think it would bother anyone who has family in the war. We have had the vietnam map for ages and no ones complained about that one.

I still don't get it. Why would a map be insensitive to relatives of the soldiers who fought there?

Is a map of Hawaii insensitive to Pearl Harbor survivors? Ia a map of South Carolina insensitive to descendants of Civil War soldiers?

it all depends on how you make the map. include some dead soldiers and osama dancing and sure as hell somebody will be offended. stick to a classic design and it might turn out to be a good map.

so long as you don't put any insensitive content onto the map such as certain cartoons or something then it will be fine. having said that we hav USApoc which is having a slight go at america so jokes on maps are fine. the whole middle east politcal correctness is over done. <--- that isn't an excuse to do something in bad taste tho

iraq map is on the way - mibi and coleman are the creators so that answers this question
Don't now why people on here don't like being cooks, remember under siege: A former SEAL, now cook, is the only person who can stop a gang of terrorists when they sieze control of a US Navy battleship.
