I personally think the incident was unnecessary. It didn't do much damage to Bush, as it did to the poor bloke. He could be in prison for at least 2 yrs by Iraqi law, due to him insulting a visiting diplomat. @ Ohio Realtor – in Arab/Muslim cultures, being referred to as a “kalb” or dog, is actually very much degrading, considering that in those cultures a dog is considered an unclean, filthy animal (although I personally disagree on that to an extent), so I guess for the “shoe-throwing” guy, a Kalb is just as low as you can go to calling someone.
