All of this is for your information because YOU seem to have had a lapse of MEMORY.

President Bush harbored "no hard feelings about it (the shoe throwing) and he even "urged them (Iraqi's Prime Minister and other Iraqis) not to overreact."

Bush was "not bothered by the incident."

Bush had no jurisdiction over the Iraqi's decision to punish Mantadhar al-Zeidi.

Your question makes no sense whatsoever.

Mantadhar al-Zeidi insulted a foreign leader. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki COULD NOT let this embarrassment pass without serious consequences.

The journalist was given a lighter sentence---he will forever be hailed a hero by some and an idiot for having a "lapse in judgement"
