The throwing of the shoes

Hopefully I won't be jailed for saying this, but I have been laughing hysterically over President Bush having shoes thrown at him in Iraq. I suppose it's funny to me because I think he exudes absolute arrogance by going over there one more time before leaving office and acting as if everything is okay when in reality he has created a total mess for Iraqis, for American troups and their families, and many other people living in the middle east. The person who threw those shoes threw them for me, for you, for anyone who can't believe we ever started this war in the first place. He threw those shoes in frustration at the mess that Bush has created abroad and I laugh because I would have liked to throw those shoes too because of my frustrations over the mess Bush has helped create here in America and abroad.
What really bothers me now is that while I can play games on the internet that allow me to throw shoes at the face of president Bush, Muntazer al-Zaidi is in jail for doing throwing them--for actually calling Bush out about his bold arrogance.
How can we get this man out of jail? I wish that I knew. If rudeness were something you should be jailed for, then shouldn't President Bush be locked up too?
