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!
-
If i remember correctly my entire school walked out in protest at the decision, i was quite impressed for 11-16 yr olds.

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.
BTW that poor jornalist was havily beaten, his arm was broken , they broke his ribs and more. -
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.

…”heads of state”, plus state flags…!

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.
-
Yes,
Ok,
you are right. -

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.
Than comes da man and tell you how lucky you are to live in democracy... -
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.

Maybe...but they beat him up really bad.
