This one is for those who find Muntazer-Al-Zaidi suitable for paying a heavy penalty for hurling his shoes at Mr Bush. And this happened when while blogging I read a comment by an individual who was quite disturbed at the unsafe prospects of our leaders, "I don't approve of what Muntazer did...today it has happened with Bush tomorrow it can happen with our own leaders." Somewhere he forgot to add erring leaders. This just brings the duality of people, on one hand they approve of RDB spirit where a couple of angry youngsters shoot the leader who was responsible for the loss of the life of their friend. It angered AMIR Khan led jing-bang to become a murdering gang because their friend was blamed of being an untrained and careless pilot. But the reality spoke about the system that was soiled by liars, who to save their skin did not admit on not providing safe machinery for the pilots. We gave the blood letting deed a thumbs up...the revolutionary streak was so infectious that it wrapped the entire nation with the disgust for our corrupt state. It led to mass involvement in Jessica Lall murder case. But all the goodness of boldness is accepted till it is on screen, once the bullet turns into a hurling shoe it becomes the point of integrity, lack of respect for leaders. (We forget that our leaders are politicians and not statesman who inspire to aspire statesmanship)
Iraq was under American operation (second gulf war) on the pretext that the country is suspected to have WMD and is giving help to Al-Qaida. Later after inquiries none of the claims were vindicated. On the other hand the country lost it's sovereignity, freedom and was razed to the ground. Later Iraq was affected by the dehumanization of people, a veteran iraqi said, 'people are subjected to humiliating and violent checkpoints, searches and home raids on a daily basis," since then the frustration of Iraqis over losing harmony with life made Muntazer keep his shoe safe to walk miles ahead of those who sit and grieve as he was the one who stood and hurled. Why we cheer for on screen revolutions and jeer for off screen ones. Or we are really used to being goody-two-shoes in real life and like only our heroes to do all the stunts.
