For throwing a pair of shoes? Or for being Iraqi? Or maybe for being a journalist? All of the above? None of the above?
Keep it real!
I would say for threatening the President of the United States. I don't care what race or religion he is.
Iraq is a hostile country to the US, especially George. The Secret Service was asleep at the wheel letting him get two throws at the President.
Its all fine and dandy now that nobody was hurt and Bush even laughed about it later, but what if there were explosives in those shoes? Its funny TV now, but Bush could have been splattered all over the podium.
The background checks apparently missed the fact that this reporter was mad enough to make a demonstration in front of cameras at a press conference, might they have missed something else as well?
Fine, I'll give you the first throw. Unexpected. An agent sitting or standing in the front row might or might not have been able to catch or deflect the shoe. But the second throw should have never happened. He should had about six guys on top of him.
