    “The heroic effort of alZaidi has sent the message loud and clear to Bush: that he’s loathed for his wrongdoing, for killing Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine,” By willingly risking prison and death just to throw those shoes, he reminded the powerful and powerless alike that a single symbolic gesture can be more effective than a thousand grenades.
    It was the least thing for an Iraqi to do to Bush, the tyrant criminal who is responsible for the genocide of muslims in Iraq, palestine and Afghanistan, But Comparing a satanic creature like Bush to a human friendly creature “dog” was very mean of Muntazar alZaidi. The comparison is an insult to all breeds of dogs. AlZaidi should immediately appologize to dogs for that and instead request them to give proper salutation to the master satan from america…. ashfaq zehgeer

    @ashfaq Thank you for sharing that; I feel like I have a slightly better insight into what was going though alZaidi’s mind when he threw those shoes.

    COMMENT REMOVED.

    While I want the comments to be a place for free and open debate I will not allow it to become a place where people are attacked for their views by others. I also ask that you use your name when you comment; as the ‘Name’ field implies. For these reasons (mainly the former) I have deleted the comment from ‘Cool!’. If you wish to have a respectful debate then please feel free but I will not tolerate hateful abuse or bullying targeted at my readers.
