It is a great insult in Iraq to throw your shoes at someone, he also calls Bush a dog when he does it, another great insult. This is too crazy to miss.

Peace of Mind,

It's one of the greatest moments of this year and Bush deserved both shoes. What an idiot. History will not look kindly upon him.

An interesting way of looking at it from another poster on another forum... Having lived in India in the last 30 years, I'd bet that this person has a better take on the current eastern mindset regarding the "meaning" of the "attack" than we will have, with our western mindset.

Subject: [phoenix-quest] "You are dirt."

Muntazer al-Zaidi is a hero to millions of Iraqis and middle east
peoples, and to Bush haters everywhere. He is the reporter who threw
his shoes at George W. Bush.

The throwing of the shoes is more than an insult, but it is indeed a
total insult. It is like the Native American insult of touching
without harming an enemy, called "Counting Coup", in which great
honor is vested. Such actions announce a series of thoughts which
break up the psychological picture of power. On the one hand, the
Native American proves he is not afraid of his enemy. But beyond
fear, as in the recent Middle East shoe-throwing incident, he is
also changing the mental framework of power displayed by the whole
enemy camp. Win or lose, the defiled person is discredited. He
can, of course, redeem himself in battle. But in Bush's case, he is
beyond redemption. His armies cannot lead him to be revered or even
respected.

During the Vietnam War, a turning point was ushered in when
protesting monks set fire to themselves. Certainly the US
Government thought it was just a couple of protesters saving "us" the
trouble of finding and killing "them." Bit in a bigger picture, by
giving their own lives rather than cowering in fear, the suicidal
monks changed the mentality of "the people".

Similarly, Mr. al-Zaidi has shown his people and the people of the
world that one need not cower before vermin. He showed the required
lack of fear, and more, he showed his enemy to be not worthy of
assassination, but only of a humiliating insult. In effect, al-Zaidi
told Bush, "You are dirt beneath my feet; you are not worth killing."

The "shoe throwing incident" may not mean anything to tried and true
western accounting methods, as in body counts or barrels of oil. But
it has already opened the minds of millions of people world-wide, who
cannot legitimately be called terrorists, to the fact that life is
not so dear, nor breath so sweet, as to of necessity be purchased by
the selling of one's soul to Bush, Halibirton, Blackwater,
Rothschild, or their ilk.

Love to All,

This really made me laugh

What i did not notice in the clip was how this guys face never changed still that smarmy smirk!!
While under attack you may have thought the expression would have changed but no!
This gives evidence to me that some who have expressed there opinions before that old dubya is nothing but a robotic clone proves to be so, were their suspicions correct Hm!

Hmmm, thats pretty rude considering I worked with some of the finest afghani / arabic and middle eastern speaking / native peoples and spent alot of time learning both their ways and religion to make my life and job easier.

India, well, they have also a different mind set to Arabs and Afghani peoples.

I certainly didn't mean to be rude, however, I've watched - and lived in an Ashram in India - and the understanding of the significance of shoes (and feet - don't ever touch anyone with your feet) - is pretty consistent with the understanding of the person who wrote the blog. And there are lots of muslims in India, so the mindset in this issue would be the same, Sol.

Our western mindset does not have the same understanding of what feet and shoes are/mean.

Esotericallly being struck by the Soles of the the feet or sol \ souls of the feet mean being struck on the heels by the scorpion from scorpio which is a slow ,long and painful death that culminates at the winter SOLSTICE when the Sun or soul goes black and face the dark night of the soul. Genesis 3:15 (KJV) says, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel

My sources have revealed that the shoe throwing was a inside job. Collaborated thru the the cia's phys-ops division. It was done to keep us off center. think about it.

Judging from the latest news around the world this guy's started a major shoe-throwing craze which may outlive us all!? Every disgruntled protester with a couple of spare shoes is jumping on the bandwagon.. W's going to need a 'popemobile' to move around when outside the US to deflect all the incoming ballistic footwear. Madness.

i had a nice laugh at it! But seriously, ain't it symbolic of how ppl have had enough! Its time for ppl to standup to the ptb's.

[Wormhole]

Sacrifice was in fact the first intuition that came to mind on this one, Bush being intentionally led to slaughter. Will this be his last useful public appearance, one must wonder.
Peace of Mind,
