Today's template (along with the Turkey and the Israel templates offered a few days ago and the Afghanistan template coming tomorrow) was requested by someone to use for military stationed in those areas. I elected not to use military symbols or themes in these templates because those things can be added when you do your own personal layouts.
I wanted the templates so that anyone living or visiting any country could use them without political or religious controversy. If a template is meant to be religious (Passover or Christmas) or political (4th of July or Bastille Day) then that is what the theme will be.
However, there are many different people who call these countries home. Just as there are many political and religious differences right here in the US. I don't think it would be correct to put British symbols and references on a United States template even though the British original ruled this country. That is why I am not putting American references on the Iraqi or Afghanistan templates.
Feel free to add whatever you want to make your template reflect your interest in that particular country. Here is the Iraq Template.

Thank you so much for all the lovely templates I have received from your site. I just started working on my United States Series and I'm starting to post them to my blog. Would love for you to take a look, if you can. I am making tags (signatures for emails) versus scrapping pages - they are coming out lovely so far - everyone tells me. I'm working alphabetically so only Alabama is posted today. I have more to post over the next few days.
