I guess, it's noble to rejoice when you fire away but God forbid you're fired-upon;

Now, that's construed as disproportionate.

I was under the impression that the Iraqi dude that hurled shoes at Bush was a national, if not a regional hero for his brave act live on prime time.

Even Ethel Fenig - a conservative blogger over at American Thinker - wrote that Mr. Shoe had received many proposals amongst them an over-ambitious Egyptian dudette that wanted her 15-minutes of fame & popularity.

From the look of recent news, it appears the tables have turned all of a sudden, as the second wave of Mr. Shoe news just hit mainstream media.

The Huffington Post now reports that Mr. Shoe is seeking asylum in Switzerland while ignoring all those countries in the region that cheered him on first sight.

Now that's a total sign of disrespect towards all those that considered him a Hero. It's also some form of cowardice, his intention I mean for sliding into the limelight.

This is a first.

Personally, I would have preferred a war crimes tribunal to judge his funky rear.

But for now, I'll settle for a Nobel, if there's one for absurdity, per se.

I thought of linking The Nation's recent article 'The Power of Nonviolence' in case no one had access to this brilliant article.

No matter how severe a conflict involving various parties, resorting to hate-mongering and violence is definitely not the right way to up the ante unless that is a prime objective of a phantom under guise.

Read on to be enlightened.

How it all gets done;

Practice in reality <.!.>

Say you have a dude standing across the fence you claim to be yours.

Say you don't like this dude.

And each day you stand on your dilapidated side of the fence and yell at him to leave.

Well-bunkered dude across the fence has no intention to leave.

This goes on, and on, and on.

One fine day, you decide it's time to get physical.

Dude across stands with a bazooka not yelling 'bring it on'.

What do you do?

The first sign of shoe-acide hero quaking in his Floersheims.

Wasn't this guy considered a hero?

I wonder what this brief-moment-of history dude is thinking as of now?

Don't know about others but I, for one, wouldn't want to be in his shoes now.

And that's final.
