War opposing Americans presented their farewell to U.S. President Bush during a demonstration in Washington last night by throwing shoes at his pictures.

A group, composed of veterans and opposers of war, called "America Progressive Democracy" organized a demonstration against the wars that Bush began in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas.

The participants said that they were inspired by Iraqi journalist, Muntathar Al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at Bush in a press conference.

They consider throwing as a simple demonstration against what widows and orphans face in Iraq; they expressed their support towards the Iraqi people and those who lost their lives due to a huge lie.


ودعت مجموعة من معارضي الحروب الاميركيين خلال مسيرة في واشنطن إلى البيت الأبيض الليلة الماضية الرئيس الاميركي المنصرف جورج بوش بالقاء الاحذية على صوره.

وشارك في المسيرة التي نظمتها مجموعة تدعى " اميركا ديمقراطية تقدمية " المئات من المحاربين القدامى والمعارضين للحروب التي اشعلها بوش في العراق وافغانستان وغيرها من المناطق.

ونقلت وسائل اعلام هنا عن مشاركين من المجموعة قولهم انهم يستلهمون في تصرفهم روح منتظر الزيدي الصحفي الذي ألقى الحذاء على بوش خلال مؤتمر صحفي في بغداد.

وأعتبروا إلقاء الأحذية تصرفا رمزيا نيابة عن الأرامل واليتامى الذين قتلوا في العراق وتضامنا مع الشعب العراقي ومع اولئك الذين فقدوا حياتهم بناء على "كذبة".
