Bush should be put on trial, not respected, and as Americans WE should be the ones who put him on trial, because he did not live up to the responsibility we bestowed upon him and he lied to us, and as result thousands of propel dies, both Americans and Iraqis. And I will most certainly not move to Canada or Iraq or anywhere else, as an American it is my responsibility to keep people like Bush --and those who call blind respect for lying president patriotism-- in check. If people like me moved to Canada, imagine how more screwed up our country would be right now, the only thing standing between ordinary Americans and utter disrespect from the rest of the world is people like me who show the world that we are a free society that can be self critical, and we do hold our leaders accountable and don’t just yell slogans in their support like robots, because that’s what happens in dictatorships!

Shoe is the symbol of Liberty. Freedom.
We are proud of you.
Beat the bushit out of these scums.
Allah is with you and Iraq.
We thoroughly admire your bravery
Throw away these occupiers.
End this intrusion
Resist and trample these Americans.
Code Pink – carry on.

First, he is a member of the press and should remain impartial at all times (believe it or not, journalists should NOT impose their opinions on others!!). Second, I don't care WHO it was, it is WRONG to insult a foreign leader and there SHOULD be consequences. There is a way, a time and a place to express one's opinions and throwing shoes at our PRESIDENT at a press conference is unprofessional, stupid, dangerous and insulting to the American people. Journalists should be insulted by his actions. YOU should be insulted by his actions. The world should be insulted by his actions. With freedom of speech comes a certain responsibility!
