Iranians join Bush shoe protest

Further proof of how unpopular George W. is around the world:

Dozens of Iranians in the country's capital Tehran have held their own shoe-throwing rally in protest at US President George W Bush.

They were showing support for the Iraqi journalist who threw his footwear at the American leader in Baghdad.

The protesters waved their shoes in the air before throwing them at posters featuring caricatures of Mr Bush.

The journalist, Muntadar al-Zaidi, is due to go on trial in Iraq, accused of assaulting a foreign head of state.

The demonstration took place near Tehran university as people headed to Friday prayers.

One demonstrator, who called himself Mr Ghanati, said he was a member of the Islamic guards and that the Iraqi journalist had seen off the "traitor" Mr Bush with his action.

"Bush has committed a lot of cruelty against the people of Iraq and other countries," he said.

As much as I love this country, it's hard for me to argue with rest of the world's complaints again our current president. I never thought of him as an evil man. But he's certainly an incompetent one.
