Do you really think that saying "we are nicer than saddam" is how any situation should be judged?

"Sure I cut off your pinkie, but that other guy was going to cut off your thumb" doesn't make people think about how nice you are.

Re: No matter how you feel about the person...

We went in declaring "Iraqi freedom" and he chose to use his new found freedom to insult our president. The shoes might have hurt if they had actually hit him, but they would not have caused any real damage.

The point of the shoes was not to harm him but to insult him. The arabs view their shoes very differently than we do. Think back to March 2003 and all of the Iraqis taking their shoes off and hitting saddam pictures and statues with them.

We should all be happy that they have taken to freedom so well.

I say, OK we questioned him (I hope we were not stupid enough to do him any harm or allow others to do so) now lets show our love of freedom of expression and protest by setting him free.
