Shoes of mass destruction [Archives:2008/1220/Opinion]

American Intelligence information has been recently proved inauthentic while the outgoing U.S. President George W. Bush said that this information is the primary reason why his administration decided to invade Iraq and topple Saddam Hussein's regime. Since the war on Iraq began, the former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Al-Sahhaf has been know as star of the war until this year.
According to statements by the U.S. President-elect Barak Obama, the New American leader will be star of the next year, as he accused Bush of waging an unjustified war against Iraq, thus killing thousands of innocent people.
Over the past few days, the Iraqi journalist Muntazar Al-Zaidi proved to be the current world star, as millions of people around the world uttered his name in various languages, and the man was viewed as an exceptional hero.
The entire world wanted to see the unique shoe that was about to hit the outgoing U.S. President in his face because he gave orders to a stupid army to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is the shoe that made out of the head of leader of the strongest state in the world a mark for shooting. The journalist did what the Arab League, UN Security Council, superpowers, and pirates couldn't. Al-Zaidi satisfied millions of people worldwide by his bravery to hit Bush with his shoes. This is how the image began, thus encouraging Arab satellite channels to celebrate that day.
Mustafa Bakri, a reputed Egyptian editor, demanded the National Assembly of his state to praise the Iraqi journalist, whose pen that has been uselessly writing for a long time in papers to liberate his nation was replaced by an effective shoe that made the arrogant president bend his head down and behave like an ostrich hiding its head in the laps of Iraqi Prime Minister Nori Al-Maliki.
The Bush Iraq shoe hurling incident is bound to change the world's vision toward journalists in a terrible manner.
Potential consequences of the shoe hurling
Al-Zaidi may be responsible for the consequent fact that from now onward, no journalist will be allowed to enter a conference hall with his shoes and hand watch, most notably if a press conference will be attended by an insulted official.
The incident may force the U.S. Congress unanimously vote for an urgent decision to bomb all the factories producing shoes, as well as invade third world states in search for “Shoes of Mass Destruction” as a preemptive step to prevent potential shoe attacks on the next U.S. President, who is said to be of an Islamic origin.
From now on, leaders of the superpowers will think more than one thousand times about their lives and the risk of being exposed to malicious shoes before visiting Arab states.
The Americans may attempt to invent anti-shoe vehicles, clothes and systems to protect their president.
In Yemen, head of our president may not escape a successful shoe shot, provided that the currently hard conditions experienced by our journalists may force them to stick to their shoes like they do for their wives.
Bush as a good athlete
Al-Zaidi's shoe will not make the world live calmly and raise slogans for dialogues between civilizations and religions as King Abdullah and the Pope want. Undoubtedly, the shoe may force leaders of Arab states to begin exercising and invite skilled coaches to train them how to avoid direct shoe attacks. The Arab leaders may be trained to behave like Bush, who surprised the world with his amazing fitness and flexibility to avoid the shoe assault directed at his face. This made a French journalist comment by saying, “Bush is a good athlete.”
Al-Zaidi may be responsible for a new world war against shoeless people, most notably in the poor African states, where people are accustomed to walk with bare foots.
Those shoeless people may face charges of storing their shoes in special depots and plotting to launch terrorist operations with those shoes. No doubt that Bush Iraq shoe hurling incident may be utilized in Yemen.
