Bush and the shoes

I thought it was a sad sight, humanity reduced to throwing shoes at someone we don't like. Didn't make me happy.

I would have been really happy if someone decided to take the governments responsible to the International Courts of Justice and was pursuing a case of war crimes against them and the people directly responsible for it. Now that is something I would get really excited about.

The sight of that poor sod throwing his shoes and the subsequent adulation of this act just demonstrates that we are still stuck at a lower level of humanity, where violence or symbolic acts of violence are used to retaliate against injustice.

So pardon me for not joining the celebrations!
