Throw a shoe at Bush

Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi man who threw shoes at George Bush has been sentenced to 3 years in jail. His crime ? Assault of the head of a foreign state ! But he became a hero of the Iraqi people.

My views: Politics and the Law have a strange connection, mutually affecting each other. I use the word 'Law' instead of 'Justice' , because I don't believe there is any perfect justice available, in the current legal systems. Well, it is still better than having no laws at all.

When it comes to Politics, it often depends on which side you are on, in debating who is right and who is wrong. In litigation, it also depends on which side you are on: are you the plantiff or the defendant ?

There is no perfect objectivity or impartiality in either Politics or the Law. Often it became a game of power-struggle, tough bargaining, deal-making, and controlled optics, in creating an outcome which appears to be nice and fair. Appearance of being nice and fair, however, is not necessarily the same as actually being nice and fair, which can satisfy all parties.

In this example, it is rediculous to the Iraqi people that al-Zaidi has to go to jail for 3 years, for doing something which exactly represents their sentiment against Bush and his gang. On the other hand, I don't think we can expect the judge to simply set a-Zaidi free. That may offend U.S.A. and the Bush-supporters (how many ? very few, I think). There is a way out: al-Zaidi should appeal, or the Iraqi people, his supporters, especially the journalists and reporters, should make a request to the Iraqi Government, either the President or Prime Minister, for an unconditional pardon.

Did Bush get hurt ? No, that seems to be the only thing that he did well, sucessfully ducked and avoided being hurt by the flying shoes. If al-Zaidi should go to jail for 3 years, I think Bush should go to jail for at least 30 years, for breaking so many laws: U.S. laws, the U.S.A. constitution, international laws, UN Charter, human-right laws, and military laws. Bush and his gang caused the death of thousands upon thousands of innocent people: Americans, Iraqi people, and people of other nationalities. Innocent human beings died because of Bush and his gang !

The Iraqi War did not break out. It was manufactured by Bush and his gang. It is an illegal, immoral, stupid and unecessary war. Using God and Religion , to justify going to war, killing other human beings, and causing the death of so many innocent people, is not Holy War. It is Holy Shit. Bush, who created the Holy Shit, deserves to be hit by the Holy Shoes, don't you agree ?! So much Bullshit, I mean Bush-it !!!
