So, it all comes down to where people are

Curtis, this is my 50th; I'll get to our other
ongoing discussion on Friday or Saturday. I'll be
referring to the posts Barry has disingenuously
styled as "Feedback to Curtis," if you want to keep
them in mind in the interim.
In the meantime, I wanted to make a few comments
re the shoe-thrower.

Yeah, the fact that there are TWO democracies in the
Middle East now, is the reason the reporter CAN throw
a shoe at someone in Iraq. What happens in all the
other 14 Islamic nations whe
I guess there is a question of who to compare the US to. Smaller
countries with more homogeneous populations don't share many of our
problems. Countries with comparable or bigger populations don't show
up as very inspiring. So perhaps comparing countries for good or bad
is bogus on the outset.

Too bad the shoe throws missed. Remember that this occurred in Baghdad, where
the
locals are wise to the propaganda GWB was pushing. The sad reality is that
despite the
negative symbolism of an affront to our leader, what's worse is GWB probably
gets a
perverse pleasure knowing that he has
