Muntader Zaidi wanted the tyrant to know what the Iraqi people thought of him. They feel that the tyrannical murderer, George W. Bush, is as evil a human being as any of those tried for war crimes or murder. He's brought massive death (300,000 civilian Iraqis) and destruction to a once orderly country. Muntader al-Zaidi had the courage that you didn't have, the courage that the Democrats didn't have. Mr. al-Zaidi whipped his shoes at the tyrant during a news conference in Baghdad. Muntader al-Zaidi wanted the tyrant Bush and the world to know that the Iraqis feel that Bush (and, by extension, America) is a "dog," a mass murderer and as evil as we all realize he is. We never approve of violence, not even of hitting a criminal with a shoe. We DO, however believe and insist that the President and the Vice President be prosecuted and jailed for war crimes. They must also be prosecuted and jailed for at least some of their many other crimes. If we (and the Democrats) don't prosecute them, we are as guilty as they are; we are accomplices to their many crimes. Muntader al-Zaidi is our hero for expressing to the tyrant Bush what we all think, he's lower than the dirt under the sole of the Iraqi shoe. We're glad that Bush wasn't hit or hurt. We have a legal system for that. Maybe a military commission should try him at Guantanamo. Muntader al-Zaidi is a journalist with the Al-Baghdadia television station in Baghdad. Now he's also a national hero. Few if any Iraqis like Bush or want him or our troops oppressing their country, occupying and destroying them. How would you feel if suddenly there were Iraqi or other foreign troops occupying Philadelphia or New York or Cleveland?
