Throwing shoes at mighty an enduring trend
In this series of Sunday, Dec. President George W. Bush, background left,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], during a news conferencein Baghdad with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, background right. Throwing shoes at the mighty has become a global phenomenon that shows no sign of fading away. Since that infamous Baghdad press conference on Dec. 14, 2008, when an Iraqi TV journalist hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush's head and called him a dog, shoes have flown at the prime ministers of China and Turkey, the chief justice of Israel's Supreme Court, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Ukrainian

In this series of Sunday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dec. 14, 2008 file images made from APTN.
For a few days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was famous the world over - an Iraqi TV journalist who became an instant hero for millions when he hurled his shoes at President 's head and called him a dog.
Little has been heard out of since he left Iraq and started a charity in Switzerland last year. But his odd moment in the spotlight has, to the chagrin of world leaders and their bodyguards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], left behind an enduring legacy.

Just this month, shoes flew at Pakistani President and the top elected official in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Bits of video and pictures pop up daily by the dozens on the web, spread like lightning and fizzle out in hours. A few leap from the screen and into reality, mostly as drinking games or goofy poses to imitate for the camera and post online.
Throwing a shoe is pure slapstick - aggression and humor blended, violence in which no one really gets hurt. Al-Zaidi's shoes weren't the first to be thrown; the sole,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unclean, represents a potent insult in much of the Arab and Muslim world. But al-Zaidi put a unique new stamp on shoe-throwing, a meaning that echoes whenever and wherever a piece of footwear is launched at someone important.
How to prevent shoe-throwing? Security officials can X-ray shoes to make sure they contain no bombs, but stripping people of their footwear before a rally or press conference still seems hard to imagine. That makes shoes virtually impossible to stop.
Just ask Muntadar al-Zai di himself. He held a news conference in Paris last year to discuss his experiences,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which include being imprisoned for nine months and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he says, abused in retaliation.
