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!!

there are diff ways of displaying protest , if you do something not considered appropriate it will be condemned . one must try not to let anger take the better of us . do things in the right way and you can still prove ur point and make a difference.

point taken..but its about what must have led a educated man do something so stupid..the desperation and the amt of hatred people have for bush..justice must prevail..but right now..it's seems very unlikely !!

no carpe diem education does not withstand stupidity or lack of control or rationality . if that were to be then so many educated young minds would not be the face of terrorism today.and pls understand that in no way am i just refering to the journo guy.i am making a general point.
