The other shoe drops

What a beautiful scene. Makes you want to cry with joy.

I cry with joy because, unlike a few years ago, the journalist will not be beheaded.

More spectacular than the shoes, is a creamy pie. That's really funny

Many of my friends in the region had the same joyous reaction. I felt differently. I think that it just highlighted the impotence of the Arab world. The most trenchant political expression that anyone could come up with was the kind of thing my three-year old does. That's it? That's the height of expression? Seems that it speaks as much about the (metaphorical) thrower as the intended target.
