AlJazeeraEnglish asked:


An Iraqi journalist has thrown his shoes at George Bush, the US president, in his last visit to Baghdad, shouting: “This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog.” One of the shoes narrowly missed the president’s head and slammed into the wall behind him. Nuri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, tried to block the second with his arm. Throwing shoes at somebody is a supreme insult in the Middle East.
