Bush's Iraqi Shoe Assailant Gets Three Years in Jail
Reader Comments
Very sad but not inapropiate.
If their is no rule of law, THEN it's OK to throw shoes at Foreign leaders.To say he was the "occupier" is an opinion that doesn't fit with reality. Too bad but this is the way societies have to work, otherwise it's chaos. His excuses could just as well be the same if he murdered someone.
Too Harsh!
This man doesn't deserve 3 years.
He doesn't even deserve one year.
He was even beaten by security after it happened and held in jail waiting for his trial.
This was an act of protest, not violence against a person.
I hope Bush does the decent thing and ask the Iraqi government for leniency.
Even he didn't feel this was any kind of threat.
I know a LOT of Americans who wouldn't mind tossing a Hush Puppy in Georges direction.
The beating was enough. Let this guy out of jail.
Shoeing Bush
The sentence the Iraqy drew for throwing shoes at Bush is deserved - he missed his target.
