In case you're wondering why a shoe, it's supposed to be insulting and humiliating in Arabic culture, kinda like getting slapped in the US.
Here's Iraqis taking the shoe to Saddam.

"Oh yeah? What do you have planned? Ya gonna shoot him? Stab him? Strangle him in front of the press and REALLY make a statement? Maybe you'll take the high road and you have a question which will make him look even more ridiculous than he usually does."
"I'm gonna throw shoes at him!"
"..."
*and I'm aware of the whole shoe thing being super-insulting, it's still a lame and childish way to get a point across*
No it's not.
I applaud the guy for having the balls to make his statement. :thumbsup:
By throwing a show like a 5-year old? Yeah, that's something worth respecting :disgust:

I guess Speg and 5 year olds identify really well with each other.
And Iraqis don't hate us, just this moron. Most of the journalists stood up to apologize for this barbarian's behavior.

This is priceless. Perfect way to go out. Last visit to Iraq, and a new pres sworn in in a few weeks. This incident just sums up Bushes term as prez. Too bad he missed. It would have been priceless to see Bush get clopped in the head with a shoe.

Some people just need to get beaten as kids so maybe they'll have some respect later on.
Unfortunately for you, I doubt anything will important will happen to you other than your eventual death.

Not it's not. It is pretty insulting ... and the whole world sees it.

Meh, it doesn't seem like an insult to me. I know it's cultural, but what's the point if the effect is lost on the people it's supposed to send a message to.
As others have stated, this renegade shoe thrower will be pounded into submission in some Iraqi prison by Bubba for the next 5-10 years. I hope his shoe flinging was worth it.

Surely you jest. What has Bush done in the last 8 years that wasn't a total fuckup? Plus your last sentence didn't even make sense. Bush deserves the lack of respect he is getting.

I'm not going to even grace that response drummed up only by someone so pathetically bigoted as yourself, with an argument.

I wonder if all shoes will now be banned when the prez makes public speeches.
Soon all press conferences will have to be in the nude.
