I'm glad I don't live in Iraq. Now I can throw shoes at people without having to go to jail. I hope throwing that shoe was worth it.

I suppose he thought that it was, or else he wouldn't have thrown it in the first place at Bush.

it's not the fact of him throwing something, its the fact of it being his SHOES. You see, apparantly in iraq, if you take off your shoes and throw them at someone, it's the utmost lowest form of disrespect. I feel as though he should be punished, but not so long. What really throws me off, is how long it took the SS to get him. that was 10 seconds. That doesn't seem like much, until you realize the what ifs. WHAT IF he had a gun. WHAT IF he had a dynamite strapped to his chest. WHAT IF he had a RPD (rocket propelled dildo) (jk). Anyway, what was funny was that the first one he dodged, and the second one the iraqi prime minister just goes
*fwap* FAILED MO-FO! (he deflected it) but if you look closely, you'll notice the shoe hitting the american flag....which could piss off the iraqis more...yah

I find it funny how pride can make people do silly things. Three years is just too much.

Remember Mercenary, Bush actually said that the man shouldn't have been convicted for so long. But remember, it was on Iraqi soil, so the Iraqi police force had to administer their brand of Justice. America, other than getting a shoe thrown at us, had no part in the matter.

Again the result of pride and stupidity. Third world country prisons are terrifyingly horrible!

They sure are. Prisons in the United States aren't as bad. Well, the supermax prisons are worse.

Throwing a shoe at Bush does not warrant a 3 year imprisonment. The maximum could have been 15 years! The Iraqis though, were the ones who gave the sentence so Bush has no fault. 3 years is too much!
