I saw an Iraqi journalist trying to protect Bush by stepping in the line of sight by the shoe thrower. That disgusts me that an Iraqi journalist is willing to protect a man who has declared war against Muslims. Truly disgusting.

Bit of a sensationalist title, don't you think? One may judge a man by observing how he treats those who can do him no good. Why does this have to be about the clash of civilizations and Muslim vs non-Muslim? Yes, Bush is responsible for untold suffering in Iraq, and yes most Iraqi's have good reason to dislike him, but why can't this just be one person protecting another from harm? Spinning this into a traitorous Muslim story will only serve to perpetuate the violence and hate between us.

Should the Iraqi journalist be tortured and executed?

I think we should send the mad Iraqi bomber to pitching camp. It's clear he does not know how to throw a good curve ball.

Seriously tho -- I'm majorily pissed that this journalist has been beaten.

Last time I checked Bush wasn't waging war against the Muslims. Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait and other Muslim nations have yet to see one US bomb dropped on their soil. In Iraq and Afghanistan, we have Muslim working alongside us in an effort to get rid of terrorist that have embedded themselves in their country. You may have your reasons for hating Bush, but there is no need to bring the word Muslim into the conversation. If Bush really wanted to take on the Muslims, I am sure he would have started in the US first. The journalist you mentioned should be honored for protecting a foreign leader and sparing his nation from an international incident.

Good grief, I don't think anybody should be tortured or executed

i think people need to take it in prespective.

Its one guy throwing a shoe at a nother guy...
sure one happens to be a president, but come on,
not like it was a granade or anything...
at worse he could have got a black eye..
we all need a reality check every once in a while..

sure, the guy that threw it should be punished, but no more than
anyone here should if they threw a shoe at anyone.

Come on, you can tell me that you have not read something bush did
and didnt wana pick something up and bean him over the head..
everyone has their moments.. what kills me is how blown out of
proportion it got..

Bush hasn't declared war against Muslims.

The journalist was very honorable. He stepped up and helped when in fact the secret service failed at their job. He should be honored for stepping in.

Let me ask you this, if your own people work with occupation forces, are they deemed as traitors that needs to be executed as a lesson to others?

Yes, if you're some kind of sadistic sociopath. If your mother was working with the occupation forces, would you execute her as an example to others?

Yes I would. Think about it. If the Chinese invade and your mom and dad was working for them would you kill them? Or would you join them?

To answer your question, no.

He should be sent to Guantanamo where he'll receive much better treatment.
There will be cute puppies waiting for him.

Wow, Delta, I'm going to assume you're just trolling or being inflammatory for the sake of this thread. I can't believe that you would kill your own flesh and blood to satisfy some misguided ideology. What kind of culture or civilization would you be saving? The kind that kills its mother over politics?

If your mom and dad supported bombings in your own community like friends and other relatives who are against occupation, do you think its justified executing your parents for betrayal?

It was a dang shoe and the attempt of stopping the dang shoe for heavens sake.

You want a civil war over a shoe?
