TWO SHOES, A COUNTRY AND A PRESIDENT

Isn’t it funny that the journalist who threw shoes at erstwhile president of US of A has been sentenced to three years of jail term. Now firstly i wish to analyse the man at the receiving end, a man who would go down in the books of history for all the wrong reasons, Mr. George w Bush .he has made more mistakes in his tenure than all the presidents collectively put together. His decision to wage war against Iraq has resulted in death of thousands of civilians and soldiers. He is solely responsible for ruining a country, for creating lawlessness and bringing down a dictator who was absolutely incapable of posing any threat to the mighty USA. There are many independent journalists who have produced evidence that the war against Iraq was for its oil resources and more so for the personal gains of Mr. President. It is claimed that Mr. President is one of the largest stake holders in the oil companies that were given licences post war.
Now the person who threw the shoes , A journalist , an Iraqi by nationality, who like millions of Iraqis have not been able to rationalise the need for the war, who for no fault of theirs were dragged into a bloody mess and their homes destroyed. Think of his state of mind. He’s no terrorist. Maybe he did what any Iraqi would die to do. They realise that Mr. President would get away with all this, unquestioned and unaccounted.
Look at the irony of our world..a man who destroys a country is allowed to live freely and a man whose patriotism got better of him, who threw shoes at a person who destroyed his house is put behind bars.
Maybe some countries are not even worth a pair of shoes!!
