The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George Bush, the former US president, has been sentenced to three years in jail.

His defence lawyer says Muntadher al-Zaidi was making a legitimate protest against the occupation and should never have been treated as a criminal.

Al-Zaidi's action drew praise and condemnation, both inside and outside Iraq. Al Jazeera's Omar al-Saleh reports.

    No....problem...

    Listen, there is a phylosophy. "if a mad dog bites you U never bite the dog back" . Coz U r a human being not a dog. Hope U understand the gist of it. & It seems the this Iraqi journalist is a dog too. That's why he did bite back. Some of the Arabs are unfortunately like that. :-(

  • @lotaloi Your IQ i too low

  • The punishment is too low...he should have got at least ten yrs. Such a disobedient scumbag. How come he does like this even though it is his enemy !!!!

  • AND the way Bush avoided the shoe,ohhh man,the guy is really a reptilian,ahahah,reptilian,sna­ke reflex...ahahah
