Shoe throwing at President Bush Jr.

On December 14, 2008, when George Bush Jr was in Iraq, a journalist by the name of Muntadhar al-Zaidi was arrested for throwing a pair of shoes at President Bush. In America, it is considered an Insult to throw a pair of shoes at someone, but in Iraq it is a huge insult and could lead to charges of assault if you shoe someone.

Bush dodged the first shoe, when he dodged it, Muntadhar threw his other shoe. Muntadhar was arrested for 3 years, but the sentence was lowered to 2 years because he was loved by the Arab people.
