Bush in Baghdad: a real shoe-in at farewell speech

When Muntazer al-Zaidi, an Iraqi television reporter hurled his two shoes at George W. Bush during a joint press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Baghdad on Sunday, he was hurling the lowest possible insult that he could manage under the circumstances.
As he threw the shoes, he emphasized the insult by crying out "This is a farewell kiss, you dog". Showing someone the soles of their shoes and referring to someone as a dog are considered serious insults of the basest kind in the Arab world.
Bush in his delusional state joked about it with total disregard for reality, he claimed that this was not representative of the Iraqi people in general. Oh really? That’s easy to say in your Green zone with all your frisked friends and security around you. Safe from the car bombs and suicide bombers, safe from the destroyed families and relatives of innocent people killed in your righteous war.
We’re a country that is crazy about polls. It would be interesting to send Gallup pollsters out among the Iraqi people throughout Baghdad and the rest of the country, and ask the simple question:
If you knew you wouldn’t be beaten or killed for doing so, would you throw your shoe at George W. Bush?
Maybe an early indication of how the results would go can be demonstrated by the thousands of people in Baghdad who have taken to the streets today, protesting in Mr. Zaidi’s support, demanding his release, and calling him a hero.
Maybe at Barack Obama’s inauguration we could have a good old-fashioned dunking booth with George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in it. At a buck a throw, it would be good clean fun, nobody would get hurt, and just think of how much money could be raised to help the economy. And think of how good it would feel finally turning the page on this nightmarish eight years.

Bush ducked, and the shoes, flung one at a time, sailed past his head during the news conference with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in his palace in the heavily fortified Green Zone.

The shoe thrower identified as Muntadhar al-Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist with Egypt-based al-Baghdadia television network could be heard yelling in Arabic: "This is a farewell ... you dog!"

While pinned on the ground by security personnel, he screamed: "You killed the Iraqis!"

Al-Zaidi was dragged away. While al-Zaidi was still screaming in another room, Bush said: "That was a size 10 shoe he threw at me, you may want to know."

Hurling shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult among Muslims.

Al-Baghdadia issued a statement demanding al-Zaidi's release.
Al-Zaidi remained in custody, while the Iraqi judiciary decides whether he will face charges of assaulting al-Maliki, a government official said.

The official said al-Zaidi is being tested for alcohol and drugs to determine if he was fully conscious during the incident.

Al-Zaidi drew international attention in November 2007 when he was kidnapped while on his way to work in central Baghdad. He was released three days later.

Bush had been lauding the conclusion of a security pact with Iraq as journalists looked on.

"So what if the guy threw his shoe at me?" Bush told a reporter in response to a question about the incident.

"Let me talk about the guy throwing his shoe. It's one way to gain attention. It's like going to a political rally and having people yell at you. It's like driving down the street and having people not gesturing with all five fingers.

"These journalists here were very apologetic. They said this doesn't represent the Iraqi people, but that's what happens in free societies where people try to draw attention to themselves."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Muntadhar Al-Zaidi has entered history big time, albeit barefoot or, perhaps, in socks, and certainly with a lot of black and blue marks and broken bones. When the Iraqi journalist took off his shoes to fling them at Bush during the US president's farewell visit to Baghdad he ensured his name would ring loud in the annals of Iraq, press conferences and forever receive honourable mention within the shoe industry and at shooting tournaments. It was as though his projectiles were intended to punctuate the remark that Bush had just made that "the war was not over yet" in the wretched country he has trampled underfoot without once blinking an eye.
Only experts can gauge the best speed, trajectory and size of a flying shoe if it is to hit its mark with optimum results. The task is even more delicate if the aim of the exercise is to protest against the madness and ruthlessness of the policies that rode roughshod over the Iraqi people and the laws and principles of international legitimacy, breeding countless war crimes, boundless death and destruction and unprecedented hatred across the region for US policy, the Bush era and its legacy.
Bush proved himself fleet of foot, on this occasion at least. Perhaps he did not need anyone to tell him that the hurling of shoes is the mother of all insults, though Western concepts of what constitutes insulting behaviour are clearly different, allowing Bush to claim no harm was done and, even more incredibly, that Al-Zaidi's action was not representative of the opinions of the rest of the Iraqi people. Bush clearly was not reckoning with the delicious thrill that swept across the Arab and Islamic world where millions of viewers have yet to tire of watching the clip of an incident that encapsulates their collective desire to settle scores with Bush as much as it reflects a pitiful state of inaction and helplessness. How eloquently those hurtling shoes spoke on behalf of all those whom the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan have turned into refugees and whose shoes, if any, are now worn to shreds, on behalf of all those driven to their wits' end by Washington's blind indulgence of Israel.
Adding extra spice to the public's malicious glee is the cultural significance of shoes in the Islamic world where many still feel uncomfortable saying the word in polite conversation without preceding it with an apology. As we all know, among the worst insults in Arabic from a long and rich list is to make a rude reference to someone's mother, to kick a guest out of your home, to associate someone's name with an animal and, most heinous of all, to threaten to hit, or actually hit, someone with your shoe. Al-Zaidi selected a heady mix of the above. As he hurled his black size 44s, one after the other, at the outgoing US president he shouted, "This is a farewell gift from the people of Iraq, you dog!" Although this form of protest is common enough from Egypt to Iraq, and further afield to Pakistan and Thailand, it has never before been addressed at a US president, recorded live and in person.

Things are different in the West where traditions of political dissent offer any number of open forms of protest and other legitimate "weapons". They can choose from protest marches, sit-ins, flag- and effigy- burnings, even bare parts of their anatomy. They can draw from an arsenal of rotten tomatoes, putrid eggs, buckets of paint, flour or excrement, all the while confident that they enjoy the protection of the law. The politician who suddenly finds his face smeared and clothes soiled can do little more than growl back and turn away. Not that all officials have acted so sagely. During UK parliamentary elections in May 2001, when a protester chose to air his discontent by pelting Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott with an egg, Prescott saw red and responded instinctively by punching his assailantreaction proved deeply embarrassing
