Many Arabs take to the street...

...why? To hail the Arab journalist who threw shoes at President Bush yesterday as a way to insult him during his visit to Baghdad:

"Thousands of Iraqis took to the streets Monday to demand the release of a reporter who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush, as Arabs across many parts of the Middle East hailed the journalist as a hero and praised his insult as a proper send-off to the unpopular U.S. president."

To put this in perspective: let's think of some important events that have occurred having to do with the Arab, Muslim world recently. You thinking? Think of India, Mumbai, nearly 200 dead, and radical Muslims once again responsible.

Were our Arab Muslim friends taking to the streets protesting that, as once again fanatical killers drag their religion even deeper into the mud? No.

Instead, the only thing that can drag them out into the streets is an insult to an outgoing U.S. president who removed an evil dictator from their midst. Pathetic.
