2. My guess is none

because they'd be jailed or executed.

8. your answer is a non-sequitur

unless you mean that no one would do it because of the threat of jail or execution.

I guess i was a bit unclear.

4. I don't know how much the people in China care...

about the Cuban flag being burned in China...

Now as far as how many have been jailed in any one of these countries, I'm not entirely sure but I would say anyone they found burning their nation's flag would likely be promptly jailed. Or is there another point to your post?

5. A little off topic but...

I remember seeing Cubans burning U.S. flags in the streets of Miami after Elian Gonzales was rescued and returned to his father.

Somehow the RWers didn't seem to have much of a problem with that one. The RW politicians have their heads so far up the Miami Cuban's ass that it wouldn't surprise me if they wrote an exemption for Cubans into their constitutional ammendment.

10. We don't know much about life in North Korea.....but

I'm fairly sure that burning the North Korean flag would probably get you executed...or perhaps sent to slave labor in one of their gulags for quite a while.
