Nobody builds or destroys your house, you are the one who does!
The Iraqis didn''t have the guts and intelligence to take care of their own country like we Iranians couldn't . It has nothing to do with anybody. All these comments are the signs of not being accountable...

Bravo Ahah doost,
I second what you said. Indeed those people deserve either saddam or mullahs! Shame on them....
"published reports"? I will shake the hands of anyone who throws shoes or any piece of garment used to cover one's lower parts of one's body at Ahmadinejad, Khamenie and so on.
The Majority

The majority of Iraqis resend Iranian's influence on them ( just like we do theirs). They know once the US forces leaves, those thugs want to impose their own ideology on Iraqis, discouraging women to go to school and empowering the Mullahs.
Occupation is degrading, I admit, but if it means being safe from these Islamic thugs, I take occupation as many Iraqis do.

2) Iraqis indeed deserve Saddam.

Its really immaterial what Saddam or Khameneii would have done, or if he likes Iranians or not, he essentially told the world on behalf of the millions who were killed and displaced. This was a genocide and you can spin it all you like, it still was a genocide.
Only an idiot would hold a news conference and pretend like everything is rosy. This reminds of Shah on 60 minutes, at least Saddam knew he was a despot and thats that.
by Kurdish Warrior (not verified) on Mon Dec 15, 2008 03:23 PM PST
When Saddam was in power the Shia Iraqi Arabs were begging for USA to topple the Bathist regime with any means necessary. Now that they are in power they have sided with Iran and are critisizing the USA government. I'm glad that Iraqi Kurds don't behave like them.
Next time I suppose When GW Bush wish to go behind the podium for a speech he either must have several armed secret service guards standing next to him for protection when someone crosses over his professional boundaries and uses it a cover for assualt either that or he better practice some more basketball playing to improve his "Catching" skills...
Anybody remembers when a camera man used the camera box as a cover to assasin the shah of iran while shah in zigzag maneuver escaped the attempt and only a bullet ripped through his upper lip without shattering his teeth and his skikk...
Damn the shah was such a good ski champ on the sharp slopy mountain full of fresh snow...sliding down in zig zag
While Bush is understandably very unpopular, whether in the U.S. or abroad, this person is hardly a hero.
If Saddam were still in power, and he had been the one standing there, what do you suppose would be this person's fate for even uttering a syllable of disagreement, let alone throwing shoes?
This person is fortunate that he is able to throw his shoes as he did. He probably will receive a light, token sentence, then perhaps write a book, entitled "George Bush Ate My Nunn Bush".
NPR is very adept at selecting the portions of audiotape that they deem suitable for broadcast.
but the guy has balls, I'll give him that! More power to him... I'd like to see more of that "standing up for what you believe in" attitude.

Revisiting the Second Law of Thermos Dynamics
Lord
Has made man
In the same way that
Man has built his own dwelling
Specially the tall vertical structure
From work place to his home residence
But...
Without constant repair and right posture
Man will face the same destiny
As his own built structure toward the bending & break down
No matter how strong his backbone is made
Therefore learn to walk straight & erect
With constant effort & self reminder
As if a doctor has inserted a steel
Inside of you from shoulder to your hip
To help you avoid back pain in an expensive surgery
In order to postpone a little longer
The Inevitable!
The Inevitability!
I heard NPR's interview with Iraqi people this morning. They talked to many, and every single person said that they supported this reporter's action and they considered him a hero asking for his release from prison.
