Shep just read a statement of defiance from Iraq stating that President Bush "should be hit with shoes".

Very scary...

Iraqi response to be named Shoehorn and Awe?

Ya know, a little photoshop could make a nice ZOT image out of those pictures...

Ok, thanks. I did see the iraqi's slamming their shoes on saddam's face though..hence my confusion. Did you see it?

[Freedom2specul8]

whoops... slamming their shoes on saddam's face on a large poster being torn down..that is!

[rintense]

Hehe. I already did one!

Feet are considered more filthy that your average anti-American protester's hiney

I've heard that in much of the the Arab third world (think Afghanistan), they squat to "do their business", then "wipe" with the their heel.

It was followed by arm pit farts

Yeah, when Shep was explaining the quote a second time they showed the video. Hilarious, once it was explained.

Ummm, I think someone was pulling your leg. Too, ummm, gymnastic like(thick heels).

[Freedom2specul8]

I heard they stand... we know of a guy who slipped in a stool because he stood on the stool.

[hispanarepublicana]

Too, ummm, gymnastic like

It took you a while to reply. Did someone have to help you up back into a standing position because you tested the mechanics of it? ;-)

[Freedom2specul8]

Dont' know how much of this is accurate. ;^D

Equipping a Bathroom One of the very strict Muslim customs with regard to cleanliness is that of washing with water after using the toilet. Most Muslims are very uncomfortable with the notion of toilet paper and with the lack in western bathrooms of a clean water supply directly attached to the toilet. Probably the most humane gesture you can make to a newly- arrived Kurdish family is to provide them with some convenient way to wash while sitting on the toilet. In American bathrooms where sinks can be inconveniently far from the toilet, the Kurdish solution to the problem in places with no running water can be adapted: a vase (unbreakable) with a narrow neck, kept filled with clean water and placed by the toilet. Kurdish women can also be shown that all public rest rooms include sinks and that a plastic squeeze bottle carried in one's purse can be filled at such a sink when necessary.

In the Arab world it is very rude to give the 'thumbs up' signal. It's like giving the middle finger.

Hmmm. There's another article here in which the reporter talks about an Iraqi kid "cheering" our arrival by giving a thumbs-up to passing Marines. So he wasn't cheering at all?
