George Bush nearly pelted with shoes

[Formerly D@vid Leeder]

You do realize that that President is responsible for invading that man's country, setting off a brutal war which is directly responsible for tens of thousands of deaths?

Your President is lucky threw a shoe instead of a grenade.

If we hadn't done that they would still be under a fucking tyrant asshole. Do they prefer to be treated like dogs or get a chance at democracy?

Things under that tyrant are probably looking pretty rosy about now.

You can't force people to take up democracy (and if you think there is any real democracy in the West, you're dreaming). Especially in a place with no tradition of democracy. The Middle East has been a quagmire for nearly 100 years due to Western intervention.

Yeah, Saddam only killed 2,000,000 people, including gassing an entire town. It doesn't get much rosier than that unless you think of Lidice under the Nazis.
