On the streets of Baghdad, where hitting someone with a shoe is strong cultural offense, the incident was taken more seriously than in the U.S.

  • Wow, wow, wow! Such interesting opinions, what a great interview. More people should see this. More interviews like this should be conducted. It gives one a better perspective of the people, culture and status of Baghdad.

  • Interesting points, i liked the open mindedness of the 23 year old student. I hope the younger generation of Iraq will have many more like him.

  • Their shoes are made of harder materials generally, so if you do get hit with one it is a bigger deal because you might be killed. No one's gonna die from a Nike.

  • Did not he cause this???

  • i wish there was even a more horrid way of insulting him.

    This video is just stupid propaganda

  • If your not outragged at the actions of this one bastard thet chunked his nasty shoe from his pagin foot at our prestdent then you should be takin out and have your ass beat to a pulp. And then sent to Iraq so you can be with your Amercian hateing buddys. And isn't it funny that these pepole know what they would have faced if Sadom was still in power but are ungreatfull for the man and the Soldiers who freed them. We should have turned that place into a sheet of glass worthless shit heads

  • These press prostitutes selectively interviewing people who will give positive views of their rulers. Go to Fallujah and ask them what they think!

    The war criminal president should be drowned in blood.

    With this kind of "journalism", its no wonder that Americans are so fucking separated from reality. Look for a non mainstream news source and look at the real Iraq.

    Smash the state, burn the rulers alive, every moment they continue to breath is an insult to their victims.

  • first of all ,bush was an Uninvited guest that day !! do you member(surprise) visit !!

  • This is as close as Bush will come to punishment for war crimes
