Bush, shoes, and Gaza conflicts

Bush, shoes, and Gaza conflicts

(Response of a JP reader to my letter of 6th Jan 2009)
I was amused to read K.B. Kale's letter titled "What a way to go!" (The Jakarat Post, Jan. 6).
He seems to admire Bush's agility very much and was mostly relieved that the Iraqi journalist's shoes missed the president's head.
K.B. Kale gives us an overview of Bush disastrous presidency, but curiously omits to mention the illegal and unjustified war on Iraq -- a war that has led to the death of a million of civilians, made thrice as much refugees.
He finished his letter by deploring and condemning Muntadhar's barbaric assault on the president.
This cartoon-like version of events (ignoring a great deal of facts and background) reminds me of the other version of the presently unfolding tragedy in Gaza where Hamas are attacking innocent Israelis.
