Is Zaidi right for what he did ?


Probably you heard, an Iraqi journalist named Muntazer al Zaidi threw his shoes to George W. Bush. It hasn't been long since this event occured and it is one of the most popular topics on agenda these days.
George Bush had come to Iraq for a farewell visit so we may think that behaving in this way towards a guest is wrong. However they had come to Iraq not as a guest four years ago. They had their weapons, planes and vehicles for war and thousands of soldiers with them.
Americans occupied Iraq, killing lots of Iraqi people, harming their houses and personel properties meanwhile. They changed Iraq into a hell. From this viewpoint, it is possible to find Zaidi right for his action, because restricting one's independence is one of the worst things and Americans did this to Iraqis. He is supported by a lot of people all over the world and he is seen as a national hero in Iraq, because he reflected all Iraqis' feelings by his action.
