With all due respect, using this logic means that leaders such as Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin should have been respected "just because". </div></div>

“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.” (Rom 13:1,2)

Sorry I'm old school. I don't like Stephen Harper nor was I fan of George Bush. However I must respect them and I would never think of throwing a shoe at them. </div></div>

I am well familiar with the Bible verse yes, not that I agree with it mind you.

So you respect the various European political leaders that supported and maintained the slave trade just because they happened to be in positions of leadership at the time?

Romans eh? Was that written by Romans?

I respect all political leaders whether good or bad. I respect the common men whether good or bad. However, their is a huge difference between respect and disagreeing with them. You could stil respect a person and disagree with them at the same time. It's a special skill that I have. LOL!!!!

Bush said (written and documented) that God told him to invade.

That's not how he is being regarded in the Middle East and elsewhere (outside of America)! </div></div>

His two minutes of fame is up. It's been up. The last time I checked Obama was the President of the United States and Bush isn't. So why is this still news. It must be a slow news day. I think the world has better things to worry about. Especially in this season we are living in. Like keeping a roof over our heads and trying to keep our jobs.

That's good for Bush. I don't comment on people's personal interactions with God. If he feels that God told him to invade Iraq than so be it. In the end Bush could only give account for himself. Who are we to judge

Re: Bush's shoe thrower gets statue in Saddam's hometown

Hey sagal, I see where you are going but in reality Bush is a cold blooded killer. He just did it in a way that was acceptable and palatable for much of the world.

Someone who orders the unprovoked killing of THOUSANDS of innocent men, women and children will never have my respect. The man should be put on trial in the World Court for crimes against humanity but he received a "free pass" because of the office he held. Honestly, when I see his face I want to vomit.

I respect your views sagal but like you say I don't agree with them.

That's fine.

He'll never be tried here on earth. So don't you worry about it

Vomiting when you see Bush's face is fine. Just make sure you don't disrespecting him by throwing shoes.
Does sagal realise that God would not approve of Bush stealing the last election?

Again I'm not hear to play judge and jury nor am I God. I can't believe that you're still focusing on that election. Move on... That's the problem!!! Some of us can't seem to move on and are still in a [censored] off mode about Bush. Bush could care less and I think you should do the same. Why devote so much energy to this man.

Again, in this economic time and this season we have so many other things to worry about.

The damage by Bush has already been done. Today is a new day!!!

I think these people are disrespectful and are a bunch of hypocrites. I think one should respect leaders of a country and this shoe throwing incident is nothing to laugh at. This is why America needs to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Let these people deal with their own country. They have hundreds of American soliders dying in their country for them to have a chance at democracy. If it wasn't for Bush and the US troops going in and ousting Saddam these people would be still under the dictatorship of Saddam and I bet not one of them would ever throw a shoe at Saddam. He would ensure that their entire family line would be tortured and murdered

</div></div>

A bunch of crock. Iraqis have tried to assassinate Saddam many times. Not only that he was the USA's Puppet before they soured on him.
Destroying one of most progressive, secular society in the region for absolutely no sane reason is disrespectful.
