Dodge Shoes!
US President Bush had his farewell media conference with Iraqi PM. During the start of his speech, an Iraqi reporter threw his pair of shoes one at a time while shouting “This is your farewell… Dog!”. Bush ducked like a pro- dodge ball player- was not hit by both shoes.
For Muslims, throwing a shoe or sitting while the bottom of your shoe is facing another person is the utmost display of disrespect.
The reporter was dragged and was detained. He is being interrogated, being investigated on who maybe behind all that. Negative for drugs or alcohol means he is fully conscious when he did it.
The reporter’s company and family members have been asking for his release. I doubt if that will be some time soon.
During interviews after the incident, Bush stated that it was not a big deal- that the reporter was just asking for attention. He got everybody’s attention alright!!
