Shoes Thrown at President Bush

Iraqi_scribe_throws_shoes_at_Bush

For all the tall claims of the Bush administration, or rather dictatorship, on “spreading democracy” in Iraq and freedom of speech – here you go – you have achieved your objective – an Iraqi journalist has earned the right to vent his anguish, frustration and hatred – And throw slippers at you to show his utter scorn for the ruthless acts of the USA in Iraq.

and as expected I could not see this news clipping in any of the US based news sites such as AP, NYT or etc..

P.S – The act of throwing shoes is considered the ultimate insult in Arab culture
