"This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog. This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq,"
Shoes hit by Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi to American President Bush as he gave his speech in Baghdad during his surprise visit is now popular news over the world. According to the timesonline.co.uk, the Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at President Bush during his farewell visit to Baghdad was hailed a hero in the Arab world as thousands marched to demand his release.
- About 20 people have protested the war in Iraq by tossing shoes at a fellow demonstrator wearing a prison uniform and mask of President George W. Bush outside the White House.
The group yelled, "This is a goodbye kiss from the people of America!" They also arranged along a curb about 120 pairs of shoes tagged with the names of Iraqis who have died as a result of the war.
By the way there's more news. A sixty year Saudi man Hassan Mohammad Makhafa of Aseer (south west of Saudi Arabia) has offered $10 million for the shoes of Iraqi journalist/shoe thrower Muntadar Al Zaidi. He's prepared to sell all his properties - which would be going to his sons - to purchase the shoes, which he describes as a "medal of freedom."
