Instead of Roses, Iraqi throws shoes at Bush

"I’m sure you all have seen what happened yesterday when the Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at the soon-to-leave American president. I have to say I was surprised. I had mixed feelings and didn’t know if I should laugh or not.

Professionally as a journalist myself, I found what the reporter did was extremely wrong. Journalists have their voices and pens (and now the internet) to express whatever they want to protest against. However, I was kind of relieved. As an Iraqi citizen, I believe Bush deserved this ending that the entire world will remember and cherish. I mean what the wrong the man had done was huge. His failure to prepare for an invasion aftermath caused Iraqis and Americans hundreds of thousands of souls, not to mention the destruction of an entire country, the millions who have migrated and the creation of terrorism in Iraq. Well, you know the rest. There is no need to go into details here."

My favorite Iraqi blogger living the good life in the USA, home to the murderers and rapists of his beloved Iraq, while wistfully yearning for the good old days under Saddam when they had a 'functioning government' (at least for the good little slaves who managed not to cross the Masters). It amazes me how Arabs see this shoe thrower as a heroic figure, yet they continue to be meekly compliant in their own continual oppression. No doubt this will become an Arab holiday, right up there with Mother of All Battles, Day of Days, National Mass Graves Day. The Throwing of Shoes Day can't be far behind. A day to celebrate the global display of Arab arrogant, self destructive pride. It truly is a different world. Yes, I commented as much on his blog, but he doesn't publish my comments for some strange reason.
