The Shoe Thrown Around The World
from:
http://www.towncalleddobson.com/



I am kinda outraged at Chris Matthews today. Last night on Hardball, he lamented how Americans didn’t like it when their leaders were treated badly abroad and how he didn’t like Bush’s treatment in Baghdad yesterday. I am not lamenting, not one bit. I rejoiced. I would have liked it better if the Iraqi threw monkey poo at Bush.

As I still see it, Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections and he is unworthy of being shown grace or dignity - at home or abroad.

In fact, it would suit me just fine if Bush was tried by the International Court, convicted of war crimes and sentenced to death by firing squad. I am typically against capital punishment because wrongful convictions are so easy to obtain. But the entire planet has given witness to the atrocities Bush has wrought in every corner of the globe. Torture, criminal use of military might, illegal war, abuse of the Geneva Conventions, abuse of all declarations of human rights and on and on the ugly list grows.

So, I am not at all bothered that an Iraqi threw his shoes at Bush. I just lament he missed.
