  This was so funny. Because Bush was laughing when it happened.

  But it really does say alot for security, that could have easily been a bomb or something strange.

  But Bushs' reaction is ridiculous. Funny.

  This is just me, but the man started a war. Tens of thousands of that journalists countrymen/women/children have died or become widows, widowers, and orphans because of said war. He had it coming, and quite frankly, if you think that was disrespectful, how is starting a war not?

  It is amazing how Bush and this Country thinks that this incident was funny. All anyone sees is a "crazy" person throwing shoes (hahahaha) and the stupid look on Bush's face and his reaction of laughing it off. No-one is taking this seriously in understanding that throwing his shoes was the most insulting (meanist) thing that man could do to Bush. Just another way that we are intolerant of other religions and cultures. No wonder half of the world hates us and our arogance.

  Sorry for the miss spellings

  Well I found it rather funny myself. Now the result of this situation is-

  All Reporters and all who hang around such events in the future will have to leave their shoes outside- until of course someone throws a pair of dirty stinky socks.

  But I am sure President Bush will not say anything if someone throws their BRA!!!! HAHAHA

  I think being the President or Leader of a country is not an easy job. I also think most if not all choices are up to the president or leader alone. No matter what the issue you will never please anyone, ever, somedody will be .issed!

  I currently do not care who did what to whom and why, all I want is that it will STOP!!!

  Thus far you hit me and I hit back mentality is just not working. So one should come up with a different solution.

  I think one should put it up for vote ALL OVER THE WORLD, whether the international troops should leave or stay, and when result is made, we either go or stay and in any case it should be respected and anounced. But ALL INFORMATION should be open to the publik in all languages, and it should be nothing but the TRUTH.

  If the international troops leave, what effect does it have for the countries ecconomy, for investments, safety all that and more, The PROS and CONS! Either way, but when choice is made finito.

  Also I think it is important for any President or Leader who is the "Posterboy" for a nation, to do absolutly all he or she can to tribe for peace.

  If I would have been there when that man would have thrown it to me as president, I would have said STOP, let him go, and would have had a talk with him! Sometimes talking is the only thing left to do to clear the air.

  Granted I was never happy with Bush, but I think WE ALL ARE JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME as those WHO caused all this. Too many lives on either side have been lost, just because we can't communicate!! We teach our kids not to fight, when two are fighting, we punish both and put them in the corner, who cares who started it, important thing is how it will be finished.

  In the reasons of the Terrorists, are Israel, Arabic Districts,Palestina, Iran, Irak all of 'em.

  They have been fighting for centuries, why do we have Nato, United Nations and all, well if some one screws up, and are constistantly throwing bombs at eachother, well take 'em away from both!....

  If they want to walk around dressed up to their eyeballs, let 'em, that is their choice.

  In Europe, in America in all nations where women of the past fought for our rights, where were they? When the USA fought against eachother, where were they? Did they but in? NO!!!

  It is time we face the facts, we have our own problems to be concerning ourselves with, It is time to make America a great nation again. With good Healthcare for all, good homes for all, and good education for all and we need to clean up our own streets, yards and keep our neighborhood safe, before going clear across the world to clean up their streets.

  We get on Chinas case for animal and human rights, what do we do in our homeland, we have human and animal rights, hello where? It is getting worse by the day, criminals have more rights, than their victims, HELLOOOO!!

  Do we treat our neighbors like we would WANT to be treated, NO, we don't, we look for what is different and what seperates us, instead of looking for what we may have in common!

  We all whether young or old, rich or poor, from all four corners of this great planet of ours want the same darn thing, that is peace, harmonie, rights, good health and healthcare that is affordable, a good life, a good job that will support our families, a safe enviroment to raise our kids. Whether we believe in God, Allah, the Aliens, Buddah ect, whether we are black, asien, white, our inbetween nor matter where we come from, first and for most We are Humans with alot more incommen than we think!

  So if I were to start throwing shoes, I am sure every Mother in the world we start throwing theirs, but at whom. Really if I look in the past from day one-til now- We women aren't to blame, but we are to suffer all the consequences in any case, starting with sending our sons and daughters to fight in some war and ending up with more loses than gaines!!!

  So who should we throw our shoes at?

  We Mothers teach our children that fighting is not a solution, fathers teach em, that if you do not stand up to your bully today, you will tomorrow!!!!

  And that is where the damage starts!!!
