One must applaud the bravery of the shoe thrower at the Bush Bagdad press conference, who spoke so eloquently for many around the world including many in the USA.
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are war criminals who should have a lot more than shoes thrown at them. They should have the book thrown at them at a war crimes tribunal in The Hague. Bush's callous indifference (and what else can you call it) to the 30 to 50,000 or more Iraqi dead (not to mention the 4000 plus American dead and 20,000 plus American wounded), plus his "so what" response to a reporter’s unchallenged assertion that it was the US invasion that brought al quaida to Iraq, show him to be a world class unrepentant offender who deserves no mercy from the court. So thanks to our brave friend in Iraq who took this chance to speak truth to power.
