Staggering Irony



The latest reports coming out of Iraq right now are that Muntader al-Zaidi, the Iraqi Journalist who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, has been beaten while in custody.

Is anyone surprised that the country who learned Democracy from the U.S. is beating/torturing their detainees?

This kind of reminds me of those anti-drug commercials from the late 1980’s. The ones where the dad finds his adolescent son’s marijuana stash and demands to know where he picked it up, and the kid responds back angrily “I learned it by watching YOU!” (click the image to watch)

Yeah, it’s kinda like that.
