A blow to the side of the head can inflict lethal injury at the

We differ on this one, Curtis. As Judy pointed out,
the insult in this case was symbolic -- nothing on
earth could express more contempt from an Arab than
throwing their shoes at someone. In that culture,
it's far worse than spitting on them.
I think the velocity of the throw was what
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

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.
