Can't beat a bit of Bush bashing
Right so in your mind it only works one way does it? This shoe thrower deserves to be judged before trial but Bush doesn't even though he admitted lying? Unbelievable.
Well?
Er no, I said it would be justice if he and Blair DID face trial. But civilians throwing things at the leader of the "free world" in these dangerous times is stupid, simple as that, and the fact he was taken away and beaten up was inevitable, and predictable, given what he'd done.
You don't even understand what your talking about.
Seeing as he illegaly invaded their country, murdered ten of thousands of innocent civilains, kidnapped and tortured countless hundreds I would say he got off lightly wouldn't you?
Er, Nibble, I think a trial in this case is fairly academic. I don't think anyone is doubting that this man threw a shoe at George W. We've all seen the camera footage.
after all Saddam got hung for that
after all Saddam got hung for that
And I didn't read anything on there about Saddam throwing his shoes at anyone.. which is, as I've read on page one, the biggest insult in Islam..
Therefore shouldn't the shoe throwing guy be stoned to death or something?
Any lawyers here?
Oh Right, sorry go ahead then beat the shit out of him. don't worry about ignoring the fundamental building blocks of the legal system that protects you, me, Bush, and all our families.
He should've been told as a child not to throw things at world leaders. End of. If you're that stupid then you are likely to expect a kicking.
If you go up to a bouncer and tell him you're shagging his bird and she is SHIT and so's his Mum then you'd expect a kicking. It's outside the law, sure, but probably deserved.
So when it's not a bouncer but one of the most prominent and heavily protected men in the world.. and you're giving him the biggest possible insult in your culture
in Iraq, throwing shoes at someone is about the worst insult you can use against a person.
It's nice that you have such a thorough understanding of other nations and that you can feel such empathy with their peoples but perhaps a bit more research on your part and a little more lateral thinking and you may understand why someone would do this.
Er yes, you're right, I should spend many years studying Islam and possibly write a thesis on the "Impact of the Iraq War" detailing its profound social and economic effect on Muslim culture. After that perhaps I could move to Basra and sample the local cuisine - and try the chargrilled goat which I hear is to die for.
Maybe I'll watch some Jonathan Creek to get my "lateral brain" working.
Or, I could go on Wikipedia and regurgitate a seamless trail of vomit all down a thread like you've done.
All so I can come out with something that they have repeated about fourteen times on BBC News in the past hour.
Please stop replying to this thread..
