He deserves itBy: venkit | Monday , 15 Dec '08 16:51:40 PM Reply | Forward What else you expect for a war criminal who brought misery to the entire world with his megalomania.I wish we had a similar journalist in India to show the same guts to slap on the Indian politicians who slleps when the country is burning.Patriotism is not by submissiveness or passivity but the courage to call a spade a spade.It is almost 3weeks since the Mumbai attack and still our govt is yet to decide to send a strong signal to pakisthan.It took almost 2 weeks for our PM to say sorry to the people of India for his failure to protect the country from a bunch of Jihadis.GOD save India.
What a missBy: Mike Jeremy | Monday , 15 Dec '08 14:50:11 PM Reply | Forward I don't care much for arabs, but it is a pity the shoe missed the face of the ugly imcompetent man. I can understand the frustration of the Iraqi journalist.
I don't care much about Arabs.By: Mahmud Taalat | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 4:12:33 AM Reply | Forward Dear Mike Jeremy, the first part of your statement has a racial slur, I am an Arab, I would never say that I don't care much about the Whiteman if the white Serbs or Bosnians had gone through as much sufferings under the hands of the world's rogue state as we Arabs had gone through. Please learn to treat the humanity equally, forget about the wrongs of some Arabs, there are criminals in all communities, races, cultures and nationalities, you will not say you don't care much about Palestinian sufferings simply because some of them out of desperation have turned out to be terrorists.
The Real Human FeelingBy: Ravi | Monday , 15 Dec '08 14:11:31 PM Reply | Forward This is the real feeling of an ordinary man. I salute that man who expose his anger. Bush killed Millions of people just for nothing. His name should be written for the Nasty administration of US.
regime changeBy: Akz | Monday , 15 Dec '08 12:40:04 PM Reply | Forward I wish some day the people who took this illegal war is taken to task some day. Not the soldiers but those liar leaders. Gone to war looking for WMD and later said it was regime change. Promoting democracy, go help aang sui ki her country needs a regime change badly.any guess there is no coalition? ofcorse no oil
WMDBy: Akz | Monday , 15 Dec '08 11:37:41 AM Reply | Forward The thrown boot was perhaps the WMD the coalition of the willing was looking for. Now we know that Saddam had WMDs. What acruel joke...
Shoes at Bush and calling a dogBy: Tom_Tom | Monday , 15 Dec '08 11:19:21 AM Reply | Forward What if this was done to a King/Ruler/Amir of the GCC countries. He would be hanged to death or his hands would be cut off. These Arabs are arrogant/ intollerant.God save them.As far as Bush is concerned, all this happens in a Democracy, and that is what actual Democracy is all about.
Shoe at BushBy: Kaleem | Monday , 15 Dec '08 15:24:31 PM Reply | Forward Tom, just realize if a country killed Millions of People of your country without any reason then i think you will do the same thing but might be something more. Regarding Arabs, I admit they are ignorant they should have to differentiate between their enemies and friends.Once if they got the point then there will be no more DEMOCRACY, No Human Right Violation which US/EU/India doen everyday with Palestine/Kashmir/Iraq/Afghanistan.
Double StandardsBy: swati jain | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 2:15:42 AM Reply | Forward O really... so when people in Kashmir, Afganistan go out an kill millions of innocent civilians, that is jihad. When they come back and kill them that is violation of human rights. These people started it themselves by putting everything in the category of right and wrong in the name of islam. It seems you have kind of double standards in this.
Ignorance By: Vijay | Monday , 15 Dec '08 20:00:38 PM Reply | Forward Dear Kaleem, do you know kashmir was a beautiful place where all lived peacefully before the terrorist arrived. Threw out many Kashmiri pundits and killed many of the leaders who were looking at the devopment of the state. When you fish out terrorists, some people get killed. People who support these terrorists may be under threat to their life have to bear the brunt.
Sorrowful invasionBy: P.Kulandavelu | Monday , 15 Dec '08 11:05:33 AM Reply | Forward I saw that shocking incident in TV.Attacked and attacker both are sharp, if we see the action in slow motion.Attacker aim is also perfect.In avoiding the hit Mr.Bush's action also perfect.Both times both are perfect.It was just like cine show.Any how Mr .Bush told already sorry for the invasion of Iraq.limitless irreparable damage had been already done.Whole world knows this.Iraqi journalist could have avoided the throw.
Man of gutsBy: Ashish | Monday , 15 Dec '08 11:04:44 AM Reply | Forward For those who think Bush deserved what he got. He effectively denfended America post 9/11 and made sure that no one can plan and execute any such attack again. He may have made a mistake by attacking Iraq but it was prudent then to err on the side of caution. He has more guts than our spineless PM who can do no more than say some hollow words whenever we are targeted by terrorists.
Bush and ShoeBy: Avinash Baranwal | Monday , 15 Dec '08 11:53:05 AM Reply | Forward Yes, This is indeed an act of guts and courage.Will Indians take a lesson from this and behave like that Journalist(some time), when they are belittled by miscreants infront of world?
BushBy: Rehan | Monday , 15 Dec '08 10:59:08 AM Reply | Forward This shows the status of American president so also the Economic position of the America. The day is not faraway when we all see USA going down if it doesn't refrain itself war on other countries. Instead USA should concentrate on their own country.
Evil Game resultBy: John Michelle | Monday , 15 Dec '08 10:44:26 AM Reply | Forward what so ever this great man has done is the real feeling of muslims around the world.The game America is master minding on the plan of Zionist
