There are another two words that should not be used in the same sentence, GWB and justice. As it is, an Iraqi journalist merely hurled a pair of shoes at GWB in a symbolic gesture, but sad to say, GWB&co
are guilty of international war crimes, there is no denying it, justice never be served by jailing him in the US, but one day the Hague may throw the book at GWB&co. We in the USA do not even know even a small
fractions of the crimes GWB&co committed yet.

Sigh. This kind of behavior shouldn't have been tolerated against the president. That being said, the perpetrator should've been arrested, charged, and then jailed/fined after his trial. We should not condone physical violence as part of any penal system, official or otherwise. We should not be barbarians and instead set the example for others to follow.

There's no we here. Iraq is a successful sovereign nation that is following their own laws.

Look, I don't think it's right to throw shoes at someone but, hell, wouldn't you think if "Bush" had any type of heart at all he would just tell them to let the guy out, it's not like he threw a grenade or tried to fire shots at him. Sheeeezzzzz...

I didn't realize Bush was President of Iraq.

People who throw shoes shouldn't throw them at people who live in White Houses.

Wow, seven years for throwing shoes?

What happened to the "justice" and "liberation" we were suppose to bring to Iraq?

Sigh...


LOL ... sounds like he got justice!!
