| The
Emperor wears no clothes, but has shoes!
The protest seen around the world: "He
[George Bush] deserves to be hit with 100, not just one or two
shoes. Who wants him to come here?" said an Iraqi
in response to Muntadar al-Zaidi's action yesterday of throwing
his shoes at Bush during a Bagdad press conference. "This
is a farewell kiss, you dog. This is for the widows the orphans,
and those killed in Iraq." al-Zaidi, who reportedly was detained
by U.S. troops last year while working as a reporter, was dragged
out and beaten by Iraqi security, and is still being held. Iraqis
rallied today, calling him a hero for insulting Bush.
An action at the White House Wednesday December
17, 11 am, to bring shoes with the names of Iraqis as a demand
that the war in Iraq be ended has been called by Code Pink, AfterDowningStreet,
and Democrats.com. David Swanson writes Bush
Comparison Seen As Unfair to Dogs.
