By now, we have all heard about the great shoe attack against our President in Iraq. The video, in case you are in a cave and haven't seen 300 times, can be seen here

It certainly is in the Arab world. George Bush has done more to liberate Muslims from oppressive dictators than any other single person in history. What did that get him and America? Resentment. They resent that they couldn't do it themselves. Further, restraint is a sign of strength in our Judeo-Christian paradigm. It is a sign of weakness in the Arab world. Had Bush ordered the Secret Service to empty his revolver on the reporter, that would have been respected. This is why the Arab world is dominated by dictators and why democracy may be impossible for people with those values to accept.
