Bush's Attack
At a news conference in Baghdad on Monday 15 2008, an Iraqi journalist Muntadir al-Zaidi 28, threw his shoes at US President George W Bush mincing some words in Arabic meaning 'dog'. The act in their tradition denotes disgust and as Bush sef dey kampe, he just dodged the shoes http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7782774.stm. Definitely someone like this will not go unpunished, the guy was sid to have suffered broken arms,ribs and internal bleeding after the incident and he was said to have done that for widows and orphans. Bush was reported to have 'no hard feelings' towards the journalist.The journalist will be tried according to the local law but under what charges? but the head of Iraq's journalists' union has asked the government for clemency towards the journalist. The following day witnessed rally in Iraq as people were haiing Zaidi as a hero and calling for his release http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7783815.stm. Funny enough offers to buy the shoes he threw were reportedly being made around the Arab world for as much as $10m (£6.5m). 'If na naija wetin you think for happen after the scenario'?
