        Bush is lucky that it was only a shoe.

        Great game by the way.

          The politicians of Great Britain voted to go to war.

          Yep, and boy was that an unpopular decision in the UK, even at the time.... classic example of an elected government acting firmly against the wishes of the electorate. I hear Tony Blair is currently having boot-proof glass fitted to his limo!

                I remember there was 1 mill people anti war demonstration in London and Blair did not care.
                So much for the democracy here and exported one.

                  Whether or not you were serious, I'm sad to see that many of you whom I respect in the world of SU, actually hoped that Bush would get hit. I'm not a fan of much of Bush's policies or many other heads of state, but I wouldn't want to see them get hit by a shoe, or any other projectile, by such a childish and immature and cowardly act.

                    childish, immature and cowardly act was what Bush and others did attacking Irak with the terrible consequences we all have seen .

                    This journalist act, in my view, is the inevitable response of one who has suffered all this things inside his country. I dont blame him. Maybe I would have done the same if I would have had the courage.

                          Serious note.

                          I am REALLY anti-Bush. I don't think of him as a leader, but an enemy. However I believe in fairness and the sanctity of parley. If you are invited to meet with someone, friend or foe, and you accept, you are bound to protect that person and his right to free speech, and show respect. You can certainly protest, but that's not what journalists are there for. It endangers journalists as well as their access to government officials.

                              VERY well said.

                                Bol***** !!!It is very easy to say while sitting in comfy home with plenty of food on your table. How would you feel if you are now living in country on its knees, with hospitals not functioning, with your home distroyed, where tens of thousands of people have been killed (read your family)when you can't buy petrol in spite of being one of the largest producers of oil.

                                  While I am fervently opposed to the Bush doctrines, the thought occurs to me that if this man threw a shoe at the leader of his own country, CNN would be showing footage of them playing soccer with his head right now.

                                        It could be that I did not understand your post.... I read it in a way that they would chop of his head if he threw the shoe on the local leader. Is that what you meant?

                                          I did not even propose non-violence (Mohandis Ghandi lived in such a country and freed his people). But it just destroys any hope of making peace if you shoot the guy with the white flag. Sure, you might try to blow Bush up on the way to the meeting. But if you both go to the meeting in good faith, keep your shoes on. The Arab people are historically famous in their fair treatment of their enemies.

                                          As I said earlier, Bush showed good ducking form and stood up like a man. He also was correct in his response thereafter. A true tyrant would have had the guy executed forthwith. Hell, the press would not have been invited.

                                          Respect and diplomatic rules protect both parties. Still my comments are more directed to this forum than to that journalist. I found it amusing. I simply disagreed with the piling-on about one wrong justifying another. Perhaps it IS a theoretical debate for the privileged; but I don't have reason as yet to throw out my principles, either out of guilt or by your argument.
