   I dont think throwing shoes is an assassination attempt.  It may be taken as a mark of anger against Mr.Bush.  It is not also the fault of Presidential security.  How can they expect a man standing before the President suddenly attack him?.  Practical possibilities should be analysed.   
   But it is not nice to disrespect a President that too by a pressman.  Iraqis have to learn more.
   Mr.Bush need not have gone that far in Iraq... removing Saddam Hussain....  bring down his statue...   arrange for the hanging of Saddam Hussain.... continued occupation of that country even after his plans were completed.....  He should have come out after arranging a puppet government with assurances of oil supply.  No country will tolerate meddling in local governance by another country.
   A larger country, Bangladesh was created by India in 1971, after a bloody war with Pakistan.. And Indian troops were withdrawn leaving their own government to function freely. Why not America come out of Iraq?

   "Why not America come out of Iraq?" Because they wanted the oil, and they wanted a forward military base in which to control the middle east, Iran, parts of asia.

      Mr.Knol, Asia comprises more than 60% of humanity.  Everyone can dream to control part or parts of it... until Asia wakes up from its slumber.  They need not bother about oil.. because oil is for selling only.  If you stop buying oil, the whole of west Asia will starve.  Why not try that instead?  Regarding military base, you can establish it only with the help of a neighbouring country.  Each country competes among themselves in helping America to set foot in West Asia.

      Nothing high and nothing left. 
      Oil buying is my wishful thinking only. Others are correct.
      More than 100 years ago, a small Japan defeated and destroyed the mighty Russian navy in the Tsushima Straights. (28-5-1905)  Most of Asia were colonies at that time.. If it happened then, why not now?

      Good duck or good luck?  Everyone will have that presence of mind. 
      
      Here, in my country, a great leader was once thrown chappals. He took it with him and raised the same slogans which brought the first chappal.  The second chappal immediately came to him.  He took it also and said "a pair of chappals free"!
      
      Throwing chappals or shoes on great leaders will not bring disrepute to the leaders.... will only enlighten the emptiness of the perpetrators.  This Bush episode has brought down the reputation of Iraqis to their lowest level.... No other way to exhibit anger? Black flag... black dress... "go back" cards... etc.

         Throwing shoes to President Bush is very different from throwing shoes to Mr. Bush. Throwing shoes to President Bush is throwing shoes to all Americans.
         
         All Americans should all get out and condemn such acts of cowardice that only portray a very low degree of civilization.

            Americans need not be ashamed for an act of cowardice by a mentally deranged person. That may have satisfied him instantly and some may have patted him. But soon, he is said to have paid the price for that act. 
            
            An advice for Iraqis: Let your mind act;  let not your hand act.  Americans have sent their military to Iraq... mind that.  That should not be replied by throwing chappals at a President.
            
            These all started when your President Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait in 1990. Repent all your sins....  ask for fogiveness from Kuwait.... and befriend them.  Also befriend Iran.  Then America will have no business in that region.

    Well the guy got pretty badly beaten for his troubles, though he appears to have avoided Guantanamo for the moment... Way to turn a possible positive experience (ie, slap the guy on the wrist and have a good laugh about how awesome democracy is), into yet another 'oh look, they're cruel animals' story for the world to dissaprove of... when WILL these people get it?

    In Chennai, South India, a 22 year old man threw his chappal at the American Consulate opp. Gemini circle facing Anna flyover. His name is Abdul Rahman, said to be drunk at that time (nearing midnight of 20-21, Dec.2008.) Before hurling his next chappal, police began to chase him and it landed near St.George Cathedral, next to American consulate.
    
    Such ugly behaviour does not find place in Indian society.  Such things are condemnable by all Indians.  Muslim youth are misled.

       No. No one in a civilised society will applaud or approve shoe throwing that too on a president.
       It is ridiculous to say Americans did it.   
       
       Iraqis dead... it was due to the misadventures of Iraqi rulers....  for using chemical weapons on Kurdish people.... for capturing Kuwait... for attacking Israel unnecessarily in 1991...  for oppressing and suppressing their own people.  Past should not be forgotten.

    Saddam was a cia agent. For attacking Iran at the US behest - the Iran Iraq war. How many killed in that one. What a million again. The war lasted about 8 years and for about 8 years the US press, without a single exception claimed it was Iran that attacked Iraq instead of the truth - the other way around. The very minute the war was over suddenly they started to get their facts straight. It's all manipulated my friend.

       Manipulators are reaping their own seedlings.
       
       But why so much separation between Muslim nations?  After so much fighting, you say "we are all muslims".  In the Muslim world itself, there are Arabs, Islamic, .   Pakistan, Iran and Afganistan do not find place in the Arab band.  Why this contradiction? 
       
       By separating yourself, you give place to outsiders.... and let manipulators in.   
       If they are wise enough to manipulate,  you should be wise enough to be vigilant.
       
       One more important thing.. Muslim world will keep boiling until the respective governments engage in the welfare of their own people, their education, their health, etc.  Without giving proper education to their people, they arouse them against neighbouring countries and cause mass killings. 
       
       Their men in uniform consume all the government revenue and deny people their basic needs.  The military should be confined to barracks only.  What business have they got with public?

       If most Americans are ashamed of "W" (bush), then they are very wrong.
       
       The fact is the shoes were by extension thrown to they them the most Americans.
       
       Throwing shoes to President Bush is not the same as throwing shoes to Mr. Bush.
       
       Throwing shoes to President Bush is throwing shoes to all Americans.

          Throwing shows to President Bush is throwing shoes to all Americans.... I think Obama is a pure American by word and sense.. that is why Americans chose him.   By adding "Hussein", you may console yourself.  But he is American....  By your own statement, the shoes were meant to Mr.Obama also.   He will certainly reply to it when time comes.
          
          I am pained to read "ashamed of "W" (bush)"  and "His Excellency President-elect Barack Hussein Obama".  Do you think Americans will fail to understand all these?  You try to drive a wedge between Obama and Americans.  He can be President as long as he carries and honour American sentiments.... as in every democracy.
