Thanks to (still) President George Bush, the people in Iraq have so much confidence in their freedom of speech that some of them may get carried away and throw their size ten shoes in the wrong direction. One shoe-flinging reporter is now incarcerated in Iraq for "threatening a president" as well he should be. The Iraqis are like baby birds teetering on the edge of a nest, getting ready to fly. Just as I can not yell "fire" in a crowded movie theater, they can not throw shoes in a celebration of free speech. You can hurt someone. That reporter must be prosecuted as an example to the other people, who are learning about freedom.
Just remember, if this had happened under Saddam Hussein, that guy would have been killed for what he did.
Through the whole incident, our President made a light-hearted quip, "I saw his sole" he said. He just came up with that quip off the cuff the next day in an interview. We need that kind of guy around. I nominate him for the post of Special Embassador to the World. Obama, prove that you are really reaching out to the red and blue states and give Bush the job.
