A “shoe monument” was made honoring the “journalist” who threw his shoes at surprisingly-nimble former president Bush. Really? The inscription on the statue reads:

“Muntazer: fasting until the sword breaks its fast with blood; silent until our mouths speak the truth.”

That sure sounds like a language of tolerance and peace to me!

One of my buddies made the comment that it was ironic… he wondered how many monuments they erected to honor people who threw shoes at Saddam. Oh, wait, if they had, they’d have been tortured and publicly murdered!

So go ahead and crown your champion – who stood up to the tyrant dog that made him… free enough to you could speak out against those who oppress him…
