Source: Al JazeeraThe Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George Bush has been given a three-year jail sentence after pleading not guilty to assaulting a foreign head of state.
Wouldn't it be a great gesture for George Bush to make a public request that the sentence by commuted or that the journalist be pardoned. If Mr. Bush does not do so, perhaps President Obama should.
The thrown shoes were not ever likely to injure the President, and the journalist was obviously expressing an opinion rather than seeking to injure the man.
