Watch out for that shoe, Mr. President!

Just to emphasize, I wasn't wanting to get into the politics of it, or whether war = terrorism. That's a whole other kettle of fish.

It was just a reflection on the sheer magnitude of death, the sheer number of grieving mothers and fathers, widows and orphans - and how it's not entirely unreasonable to expect that that scale of death and loss might just occasionally be channelled into something as simple as the throwing of a shoe at the man whose arrogance and contempt came to symbolise the entire mess.

Fair play to his reflexes though.

The shoe-thrower should've said, "Here's your weapon of mass destruction!"

Cacophony, he's been dodging questions and threading the needle for eight years. He could probably go all Neo on us and dodge bullets.
