President Bush is heading home after a tour of the war zones that have dominated his presidency—a farewell visit defined less by triumph but by the frustrations that prompted one Iraqi reporter to attack him with his shoes. As he addressed a news conference in Baghdad, an Iraqi journalist flung his shoes at the American leader and called him a "dog."....
what is ur opinion? is the journalist wrong or right? and what do u excepct to him (guanatanamu)?

This is the anguish,agony, pain and anxiety of common Iraqi person in particular and every conscious person in general. This is not just the shoes which flung towards head of state of USA but this is actually the pains of common Iraqis and which want attention of every conscious person of the world to realize their pains. We do hope the American citizens would feel the pain of people who are effected from the state sponsored terrorism of USA across the globe. 

Why Hitler is so much notorious for his regime than Bush?

All the so called terrorist are none but the face of brutal policies of US towards weak but at the same time resourceful and strategically vital geographical localities across the globe.

And Bush said that he didn't accept it as an insult against himself. It seems he is accustomed to have shoes to his face Wink

I love this guy,

Mr Maliki wherer ever you are, can you please collect some shoes from me. throw some at Mr donald, and some more at bush as well. Cool

1000,000 Iraqian died since the first American soldier put his foot on Iraq !!

wrong figures, the most numbers suggest 100,000+ people and not a million.

An estimated 60% of the killed are due to suicide bombing and other masccars. This is mainly targeted at shia muslims.

Estimated 7000 people killed in Iraq were forign "insurgents". 10000 were Iraqi police men and other security personals.
