No regrets from the Iraqi who threw his shoes at Bush: Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi gained fame for hurling his shoes at President George W. Bush in a news conference to show his anger at the corruption and chaos that followed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. He is still furious.

My confusion comes with the people who cannot see that Ukraine is just the next in this same series. The same people have been running these shows for thirty years. I have family who acknowledge the lies which got us into Iraq. Yet these same family members believe a story that rhymes completely with the propaganda from Iraq now that that story has the name "Russia" attached to it. I genuinely don't understand how they are squaring that circle.

What a strange world this is.

And yet, decades later when we pull out, they are throwing their babies at US soldiers. Sorry we helped you out for a while?

Not that long ago 1000s of us sat on the north bound lanes of I 5 so Obama could travel to LA, I stood on the trunk of my car and showed him my ass as the motorcade went passed. Many others flipped him off. Bush was a tiny bit better
