The Wall
Love it – throwing shows at a president – how simple! Think Bush will ever forget that moment? No. Bush will forget or does not know how many people died in Iraq because of his decision to go to war. Bush will forget or does not know how many Americans died in Iraq. The man who threw the shoes made his point. The Iraqi people are suffering GREATLY because of Bush’s decision to go to war and the because of the willing presence of the U.S. military in Iraq, still fighting and killing innocent people.Wonder what Bush thinks of every morning he puts on a pair of shoes and every night him he takes them off.Throwing a pair of shoes at a “leader” – terrific!
