Yes, I am sure the US would like to be known as the country that advocates shooting shoe throwers as an appropriate response to that kind of angry demonstration, I'm sure that would make all shoe throwers think twice.

Absolutely! I say shoot em all!

[Peikko 1,575]

All the shoe throwers?

What about those who just lose a shoe, accidentally?

Throw a shoe...get the boot...

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

An Iraqi reporter called visiting U.S. President George W. Bush a "dog" in Arabic on Sunday and threw his shoes at him during a news conference in Baghdad.

Iraqi security officers and U.S. secret service agents leapt at the man and dragged him struggling and screaming out of the room where Bush was giving a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

The shoes missed their target about 15 feet away. One sailed over Bush's head as he stood next to Maliki and smacked into the wall behind him. Bush smiled uncomfortably and Maliki looked strained.

What? No Persian shoe jokes yet?

Here's some in-depth analysis of the incident:

Shoe shot analysis:

The first shot: The Iraqi journalist has the element of surprise here. This should have been his best shot because he has time to take the shoe off and aim. However he seems to have been so keen to throw the shoe that he just hurled the shoe 'willy-nilly'.

The journalist then removed the second shoe and hurled that one too.

Both shots missed by a similar amount.

Criticism of the shots:

1) Had the Iraqi journalist lowered his shot, George Bush may then have crouched down and then would have been hit in the kisser with the shoe. This would have been the king of all Bushisms.

2) Why didn't the journalist take both shoes off and then throw them? He seems to have removed his shoe, thrown it, remove the other shoe and then thrown that one. What he should have done was remove both shoes and then thrown them - that way he would have had a better chance of hitting Bush with the second shoe because he would have had better balance.

In an after attack interview the journalist is believed to have told our reporter that he removed the Odour Eaters from his shoes before going in to the conference to further maximise the attack. "It was a physical, psychological and smelly shoe attack," he may have said.

"All I can report," Bush joked of the incident, "is a size 10."

Bush's got a sense of humor.

"we?" whoever do you think you are speaking for?

I don't care if you have some personal attachment to the guy as "your president", he's an asswipe.

Perhaps you should go somewhere else if you don't like free speech

Holy moly.

OK... after laughing I thought for a moment... what if the Iraqi dude had something dangerous in those shoes though?

Nevertheless, I'm with PD on this one. Hope he definitely got both his shoes back.

If he did the fault would have been with the presidents security.

I wonder would the shoe throwing moron have done the same to Saddam ?
