A member of Code Pink dressed as US President George W. Bush lays on the ground during a protest in front of the White House, on 17 December 2008; in Washington, DC.

The activist group Code Pink staged the protest to show their support for the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at US President Bush during a press conference with the Iraqi Prime Minister.

Members of Code Pink, (L-R) Joan Stallard, Medea Benjamin, Jim Goodnow, Gael Murphy and Polly Miller, put their feet on the head of a fellow member dressed as US President George W. Bush during a protest in front of the White House, on 17 December 2008 in Washington, DC.

As to the journalist original shoes, US Security agents in Iraq destroyed the shoes thrown at US President George W. Bush by Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, on 18 December 2008; it was reported, as momentous protests around the globe continue in favor of the Iraqi journalist and for his freedom.

Protesters gather outside the US embassy in central London holding shoes on the end of pieces of wood which has became symbolic towards Bushgate, on 19 December 2008; to ask for the release of Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist arrested for throwing his shoes at US President George W. Bush.

Nevertheless, the after actions of what the shoe throwing Iraqi journalist did, resounded to what the people around the global actually feels towards US president George W. Bush and his policies towards the world; even within his own country of the US.

The question at hand instead of shoe, is will US George W Bush understand the weight of what harm he has subjected the world too; to create such a situation of increasing animosity towards him?
