"Hey, fellow Iraqis! I just thought of a way to insult the President, and it won't make us look worse than we already do or make us look immature - I'll throw my shoe at him. That'll teach him..."

Exactly. I don't think Bush was humilated. I think he was amused.

It was nothing more than a cheap trick for the media with low risk of comeback.

If it wasn't humiliating or insulting why would the guy get beating by the secret service and guards also why would US news channels cut the video and not showing it all ?
Please watch the whole video in here www.abovetopsecret.com...

Hilarious!

This made me laugh for a good half-hour.

Personally, no American can say if he speaks for the majority, because America is even more isolated from the truth than any other allied nation in Iraq.
You are told what to believe by your media.

Personally, I'll bet that the majority are angry, because they are not seeing an improvement in their lives, they're seeing little or no investment in their future. Yes the Iraqi regime needed to be overthrown, but that doesn't mean the "American International Heroes" should have been the ones to "free the people" (urgh, the sheer arrogance of that makes me want to puke!)

America went into Iraq to secure the Oil. As seen by the fact that the Oil fields were secured while the hospitals, schools and infrastructure were left to fall apart.
If you were going into a country to "free the people" isn't the infrastructure, medical care and security more important than the oil?

Bush deserves a whole lot more than a couple of shoes thrown at him, but if that's all he gets, at least it's something, and at least it was leaked so the world could enjoy it.

I also saw a report that this man wouldn't face punishment, it was considered a way to prove that now there is freedom to protest in Iraq where there wasn't before. Not surprisingly, they've changed their mind on that it seems.
I only hope that people don't loose track of him, because if the media let him fall into obscurity, he'll end up labeled as an "enemy combatant" and held in a cell without rights, without defense, and without ever seeing the sunlight ever again.

Funny, that sounds exactly like what Saddam was accused of.
Apparently he locked people up without charge and without reason, he disappeared people regularly.
Guantanamo, anyone?
