Why Bush got a shoe thrown at him

Of course, cops and ambulance drivers in the US will do the same thing– when they have lights and sirens flashing. We presume that they’re on their way to an actual emergency. In the case of the police, we also tend to make nervous jokes about them just wanting a doughnut. As far as the Iraqi’s are concerned, that Hummer is on a doughnut run…
I am vaughly reminded of Shooting an Elephant by Orwell. No matter how good a person someone is when they start occupation duty, the job itself turns them into a real asshole.

Perhaps it is not clear by the video but since I sent it, I will chime in here. These guys are staying alive. Having spent a bit of time in the region in question, I can tell you that if you do not keep moving, you become an easy target for an RPG, mortar round, sniper, etc. They are definitely NOT on a doughnut run.
