The Shoe-Thrower Speaks
"Here I am, free," begins Mutadhar al-Zaidi. "But my country is still a prisoner of war" — The Story of My Shoe. "What compelled me to confront is the injustice that befell my people, and how the occupation wanted to humiliate my homeland by putting it under its boot."
An old post of mine which puts the incident in its proper context — Two Kids Who'll Never Be Able to Throw a Shoe at Mr. Bush. "Nor will they be able to throw a ball or throw stones at Satan, when and if they perform the Hajj," I wrote. "Perhaps Muntadar al-Zaidi threw a shoe each for these kids, and for the many others maimed and killed in an unconstitutional and unnecessay war that was in no way in our American interests."
