If you haven't heard, yesterday an Iraqi reporter threw a shoe at President Bush when meeting with the prime minister during a press conference. As much as you hate President Bush, the behavior cannot be tolerated towards anyone. Your thoughts and opinions?

This is a real insult in the Muslim World. Can any one who knows about this elaborate? Any Muslim. If you remember Saddam's Statue was hit with Shoes when it was pulled down. Lets remember its still physically possible for some one to be worse then Bush.

It's referred to as Arabic insult.

Shoes are forbidden when praying and it is rude to show the sole of one's shoes.

This is hilarious compared to Hiliary Clinton's "We were dodging bullets when we got off the plane" exaggeration!

I moved it.
It funny but its also has some meaning, "I cant wait till you get out of office, But I also hate my Prime Mister that i will throw a show near him"

As somebody in another blog once commented: "Obviously, Bush has been dodging stuff like beer bottles and wrenches for a long time!"
How else can you explain his quick cat-like reflexes? *shrug*

I find it funny [yet amusing] how afterwords, Bush was told to be joking about how the shoes were a size 10. 
Didn't even know size 10 shoes were possible.

Yeah it was amusing, but who really cares? There are much more important issue. The Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme is one in particular...

You have to admit that no matter how much hate you might have towards someone, it's not reason to be throwing a shoe at that person. At that part of the world, it is considered very insulting to be thrown a shoe at.
