I do not get it
Posted by Martin at 11:03 UAE time
This guy gets support under the terms 'Freedom of Speech' and 'Democracy'?! Guys, democracy has nothing to do with being allowed to throw shoes at someone.
One of democracy's benefits is you can express your opinion in a proper manner. But you are not allowed to attack/insult someone verbally or physically.

Bush Deserved a shoe..
Posted by Aussie Mate at 10:03 UAE time
I was amazed by all the comments made by the western sounding names on this forum.... I am sure i would be also amazed to see their comments if some one from the Arab world would have bombarded their country in the same way as was done to Arabs.

Bush, Saddam and Shoes
Posted by Graeme Park at 13:41 UAE time
Ironic, I think. If Shoe Guy had done this to Saddam, he would have been shot dead before he'd taken his second shoe off. Good or bad, GW Bush got rid of Saddam and the removal of this oppression allows freedom of speech for all Iraqis. Freedom to throw a shoe at someone you don't like, for example. The Shoe Guy should be released immediately to further show what happens to people in a democracy. GW wasn't bothered about it,
why should anyone else?

Shame!
Posted by PrincessFreaky at 13:31 UAE time
The only thing the Iraqi govt should be ashamed of is that the shoe didn't hit him straight in the face, the guy should have practiced at home. And his sentence if trialed is laughable. Attempted murder? with a shoe? oh yes much reason for people to fear for their lives! And what Bush is not worthy of trial I guess, raid and kill thousands, its cool, but get a shoe thrown at you then its attempted murder.
A chipmunk would run this world with more sense.

double standard
Posted by PH at 13:07 UAE time
If an American did this to a foreign head of state, regardless of that person's views, etc, it would be expected that they would go to jail. It is attempted assault, regardless of the motive and weapon. Even if it happened to Robert Mugabe, it is still inappropriate, uncivilized and reflective of a certain mentality.
It is unbelievable that there is any support for such an action. It simply shows the ignorance of the people posting ridiculous messages of encouragement.
Try and throw a shoe at me and I will show you just how President Bush should have responded.

Mr. Zaidi v Mr. Bush
Posted by paul at 10:47 UAE time
It just proves the child like mentality, any journalist worth his salt would be expected to report new in a neutral and unbiased manner, he has also abused his press pass privileges by committing such an act.
I suspect the man is just looking for self notoriety and should be bared from any journalistic activities in future. The company he works for should also be held to account and take disciplinary action. Mr. Zaidi has no perception on how this action portrays the long suffering Iraqi people to the rest of the world.

Shameful
Posted by A.L.S at 08:59 UAE time
I do not like the Bush government nor some of the actions that his government has done, but I think the act done by this young arab was a shameful and disgraceful. To voice an opinion, freedom of expression & speech and to want to cause physical harm to someone are two complete different things. He could have stood up and protested but throwing a shoe at another countries President is causing physical harm (not to mention disrespect).

Booting Bush
Posted by Mpower at 21:41 UAE time
Salute to Mr. Muntazer, he did what i would have loved to do but never had the balls to and neither an opportunity.
Bush has something he will be taking back with him from Iraq, a size 10 shoes.

Good move
Posted by Mike at 18:41 UAE time
Give me Bush and my shoes and I'll do the same. He should be put on trial for crimes against humanity. But happens instead? he is kissed up to in every country he dares go to. What's this world coming to?

Actually, I thought it was brave of the man to throw the shoe at Bush. He just manifested what many people in the world think. Nevertheless, I was surprised to see that the only thing this president has is quick reflexes.
