The video of the shoe thrower will forever go down in history as the most watched video. We all applauded when we saw the video. Why? Because THE MAN HAD BALLS. Now he knew he would probably spend the rest of his life in jail but for one moment he just could not take the BALONY Bush was talking.
Didn't you just want to say "Shut UP Man", just it is too much. Well the shoe thrower shut him up. He looked stunned and shocked as we are were.
Since the war began Bush had been promising a new Iraq, new freedoms, new life, money and prosperity. But all they saw was destruction and less freedom and their entire country being ripped apart. I remembered the day when they tore down the statue of Hussein and the people cheered. I remember when they hung Hussein and people cheered, well they are not cheering now. We all know that things were a thousand times better when he was in power even with all his henchmen.
Bush lied to get the war started and now there is a huge mess. I am angry because we were being aided by Saddam, he gave us gas for a small price and he helped us with other things. Since the war, our gas went from 2.3 jd to 6.5 jd, this means it triple in price. Not only that but everything from the cost of rent to the price of rice and flour. So Bush invaded Iraq but he killed us.
So he had not the intention of killing Bush, he had the intention of SHUTTING his mouth. Don't you just get tired of the complete bull. So yes we applauded his action not because of the insult of a President but that someone somewhere is heard. We want to be heard that we are hurting, we want to be heard that we are bleeding and for once in our life we saw a few minutes of joy.

Sara, same thing in former Eastern Bloc. They thought capitalism will bring them everything free, made out of gold. They are shocked they actually have to pay taxes. Previously, 2% of gross wages covered free schooling, medical treatments, very cheap kindergartens, school excursion, before-after school care, with homework help, cheap food, rents, cheap textbooks etc. At the time, housing loan was at max 3%, now hovering at 10%. Never had unemployment, now it is at 13%. Yes, they want back the "good old" days, where crimes were at very low rate too. Virtually no drugs available either.

Hey Oz, where you been, we miss you. The old saying, be careful what you wish for applies here. The grass is always greener on the other side applies here. Look we are suffering here in Jordan and now with the white phosphorus bombs, I am suffering from headaches and pains, along with my countrymen. Times are tough and we all want a better tomorrow but sometimes yesterdays are much safer and much healthier.

Sara, I've been here every day, reading yours and other forums too.
Sorry to hera and read about the troubles over there. Sorry you're not feeling so well.
We've had very smokey Melbourne air for this week, so I understand about your headache. I've suffered the same, just opening my mouth, I gulped a fair bit of smoke. HOpefully, it will get better for both of us.
Cheers, Susan

Yes IMO he is a great hero! A non-violent protest of this type says more than 100,000 words. I´d nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize!!!
My best wishes to you both! And here´s hoping it´ll get better for you both... Salud!
