No wonder that video was famous worldwide. There are so many people who hate Bush.

Fun fact: In the Middle East, it's extremely insulting to show the soles of your feet to someone or touch someone with your shoe.

Also, did they say 7 years of war for when Bush was there during 2008? 7 would be Afghanistan, we had been in Iraq since 2003, therefore 5 years.

As said before probably, throwing a shoe in the Middle East is like saying "Kiss my ass!".

And then they found the WMD's in Syria...
