To think that the most devastating weapon used in the American conquest of Iraq is a couple of shoes, is astounding. In future there will be hundreds of camps spread secretly through out the Islamic world training youth the correct way to hurl shoes.
Images of President George W. Bush ducking shoes is the ultimate protest. It kills no one. It hurts no one. But it does demonstrate the utter contempt most Iraqis have for the Americans, and their puppets in power. Muntadar al-Zeidi threw his shoes and curses at Bush.
If he lives he may become the resistance hero for the Iraqis. A streak of blood trailed him as a pile of security agents dragged him away. Now we know what to do with those old shoes, recycle them in protest.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm seriously considering the donation of all of my old shoes to the Iraqi relief effort, especially work boots with steel toes.
