el zeydı

If I were a Times editor in the selection committee, I would choose EL ZEYDI as the most important and the most influential person of the year 2008.Now everyone around the world is talking about him. The 28-year-old journalist Muntazar El Zeydi has now become the hero of antiwar Bush rivals! Zeydi a correspondent for the independent El Bağdadi television station has now become a worldwide conversation piece after throwing his shoes at US President George Bush the night before last during a press conference with the Iraqi President.Throwing shoes is seen as a big insult in Arap culture.while throwing his shoes,he yelled “this is your goodbye present, dog.”Then he was arrested and nobody could get in touch with him so far. Thousands of citizens hit the streets holding slogans of support for the journalist.Moreover he has been declared a ‘hero.’ in Baghdad.
