They should give the shoe thrower 2 years in jail, one for each miss.

If that was Saddam he threw at he would have got a 9mm round in the back of his head. after they put the electrodes on his gonads...... If that was that was the almighty one you'd be crying for us to nuke the whole country.

This thread has clearly shown that people who say "you should respect the president whether you like them or not" have been referring to president-elect Obama, or Dem presidents in general.

Much worse things were done in our infancy.

I'm surprised that the Secret Service gave him enough time to throw both shoes. I thought for certain that guy was going to get destroyed immediately. Instead he just got the boring knee-to-the-neck-and-airway that you see any given night on COPS.
hah! When me and my friend saw that, we both started laughing because of the Austin Powers movie. 'Really?? Who throws a shoe!?

No , I was purely going by the way Bush reacted in the clip. It just looked strange. Take another look , and you will see what I mean....... I do not buy into conspiracy theories. They usually get legs when the masses just can't understand why something has happened, or , someone has an agenda.

It seems you've won this arm wrestling match against an imaginary argument. Well played.

Keep your pants on it was just a joke I heard, thought it was funny. The reality is this action is an embarrassment to our country and truly shows how many Iraqis feel about him. Prowar pundits can cheer on the reasons they believe in how we are safer by these actions of aggression. Imagine how we would feel if our Country was invaded by a stronger country that said they were here to help us and then let lawlessness and violence kill many of our fellow citizens. To keep in mind the mess that Bush made for them I am not surprised people want to throw shoes at him.

That said, No Head of State diplomatically engaging another country should be subjected to this and for that I am sorry for Bush. The shoethrower should be punished by incarceration but not death as it would only inflame already high tensions between us and the Muslim Population.
