Some Iraqis don’t appreciate our sacrifices made to ensure their freedom to throw shoes at speakers in news conferences (although most do). I’m sure if this guy had thrown shoes at Saddam or any other Islamic “leader,” he’d have been executed within hours; maybe even minutes. But he apparently doesn’t appreciate it that we sacrificed many young lives, and spent billions of dollars so he could throw his shoes at President Bush. No, his action didn’t move anybody away from their current positions about Iraq. But at least, through our efforts, he is still alive and will probably soon be free to throw shoes at more people who have helped him better himself. Apparently, there are others who agree with him in being non-appreciative of our efforts because there seems to be a “ground-swell” of support for him. Why do we even bother to try and make things better for such people? (
