Dec. 14th 2008 George W. Bush quickly ducked shoes thrown at him

On this day in 2008, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar Al-Zaidi threw his shoes at President George W. Bush, responsible for millions of dead, injured or displaced Iraqis following his illegal invasion of Iraq.

In Arabic he screamed "You killed Iraqis!"

Bush quickly ducked, avoiding being hit by either of the shoes.

The second shoe hit the American flag, and Al-Zaidi was subsequently grabbed, kicked, and hurried out of the room by guards. Since then, there have been many other shoeing incidents on an international scale. Al-Zaidi received a three-year prison sentence, which was reduced by two years. On September 15, 2009, after nine months of incarceration, he was released early because he had no prior criminal record.
