Shoe-Throwing? America’s Future in the Middle East

I’d like to apologize for the delay in getting something out to my
readers. Finals have been consuming my life, but now Alhamdulillah, I
have three free weeks to read, relax, and write.

As my winter break between classes began, I got the most peculiar
email titled, “Bush Dodges Iraqi Journalist’s Shoes.” Before opening
the email, I immediately thought that this would be a Comedy Central or
Saturday Night Live spoof. Instead, I opened up the attached video,
only to watch a news piece of an Iraqi journalist throwing both pairs
of his shoes at President George W. Bush. And no, it wasn’t some corny
April Fools’ joke.
