Sure it is, that's all it is just cloth. What it represents is another matter entirely and thus the debate.
Sure, just like what America is *represented* as being, and what it actually is, are not one and the same. Symbolism lends itself very nicely to the interests of propaganda, which I think helps to explain why America has fallen so far and so quickly: we are preoccupied with image and appearance, rather than substance.
