Angry Iraqi throws shoes at Bush in Baghdad




(CNN) -- President Bush made a farewell visit Sunday to Baghdad, Iraq, where he met with Iraqi leaders and was targeted by an angry Iraqi man, who jumped up and threw shoes at Bush during a news conference.

Among Muslims, throwing shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult.

The man was dragged out screaming after throwing the shoes. Bush ducked, and the shoes, thrown one at a time, sailed past his head during the news conference with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in his palace in the heavily fortified Green Zone.

As the man continued to scream from another room, Bush said: "That was a size 10 shoe he threw at me, you may want to know."

Bush had been lauding the conclusion of the security pact with Iraq as journalists looked on.

Bush landed at Baghdad International Airport on Sunday and traveled by helicopter to meet with President Jalal Talabani and his two vice presidents at Talabani's palace outside the Green Zone.

It marked the first time he has been outside the heavily fortified Green Zone in Baghdad without being on a military base.

The visit was Bush's fourth since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

Afterward, Talabani praised his U.S. counterpart as a "great friend for the Iraqi people" and the man "who helped us to liberate our country and to reach this day, which we have democracy, human rights, and prosperity gradually in our country."

Talabani said he and Bush, who is slated to leave office next month, had spoken "very frankly and friendly" and expressed the hope that the two would remain friends even "back in Texas."

For his part, Bush said he had come to admire Talabani and his vice presidents "for their courage and for their determination to succeed."

As the U.S. and Iraqi national anthems played and Iraqi troops looked on, he and the Iraqi president walked along a red carpet.

Factory-called school funds

There is a small problem in the education system but may cause some students educational failure, and failure in education in some of our societies means that the community will have failed as a person in his life has no value in society is dependent on the state and the people, the value of a person identified by some of our things Silly, such as papers called certificates.

Before addressing the problem must talk about the educational system, personally I think the education system a large factory of the funds contained within large boxes called "classes" and the individual will contain small group of funds called "students" and all students must be at the location specified in Time and funds must be!

You can not enter this factory that I was a ball or cone or any other form, because other forms may be dangerous, it may not be effective Kalsnadik, so the educational system is trying to transfer these students to the various funds through a process that takes 12 years of daily repetition Boring.

Imagine the image of this plant, is a student in different forms and different minds, considerable energies and most of them come from the other party in the form of funds and wants a normal function of normal and normal life in fear thinking silly things as innovation, creativity and moving with the herd does not like him out, there are exceptions - thankfully -- They are able to move beyond education without leaving any negative impact of education on the minds and characters.

This plant funds, which we call the educational system had a problem with different types of students, but I want the themes to focus on the students can not focus on one thing for a long time I was of them.

I remember very well that mental wander away in all directions and focus on the share, with over the years begun to focus more share, or at least focus on what I just makes me go beyond examinations marked medium, but during those years I was in fact the problems with teachers because of my attention , I can not promise you how many times I heard the words: none but, stupid, stupid, cool, dependent on society, failed, Mkk gossip .. إلخ! Etc.!

All this because I do not Attention, Attention: just do not, I did not hooligans Therthara I did not, there are more students because of their activities and in addition to the lack of movement of their attention, not talking about something called "hyperactivity" and "mobility" or ADHD, but do not talk about students Suffer from hyperactivity and movement, but they can not focus on boring things such as quotas and school hours can focus on something fun like playing.

These balls is active in the plant of funds, can not be reintegrated into the plant as they are because the system is designed to produce as much as possible of these funds and does not apply to the Fund's specifications do not follow the rules and thus impede the productivity of the plant, which never interested in anything other than the production of as much as possible Funds.

I noticed talk about the entire education system, do not tell me that teachers are the problem or the curriculum or the Ministry of Education, but the entire system and this includes family and community, government and the private sector, teachers, schools and curricula are just parts of the system, and many of my teachers were victims of the system and Ashfaq Community because they do not give them adequate respect and ask them to return to achieve miracles.

Today repeated the story of this lack of attention, the daughter of my brother can not long and drawn This is natural, but forget Dftera or a book or do not solve the duty When you go to the factory - the school - the problem lies with the teacher because they did not do this thing or the other, and play their role as teacher From the plant.

I'm still a believer as a domestic education of many of the problems of education must make this type of education was formally accepted and popular.

Simple things

Imagine that you went to the market to buy various fruits, and spoke with the seller a little on political, social and political joke thrown here and threw the social There is a joke, and then put your hand in your pocket and your money out portfolio and brought the cost of fruit and I gave to the seller, and your purchases are delivered greetings and thanked the seller prank The final short-away and you hear laughing, I went to the home or Perhaps you are driving, I remembered that you want to visit another place to buy candy Vflt purchased and returned to your home to enjoy Bmstrt.

Boring story repeated but there are many things that are invaluable, without the awareness of the freedoms we exercise, yes, God did not think about the performance of thanks, and a strong network of ideas.

Let's start with the right of you out of your house to go anywhere, you know that the individual North Korea does not have permission to do so?

This right is denied to think about people, and North Korea to go from one place to another or from his village to another village to talk with a relative first request for official permission from the ruling party.

Talk with the seller in politics in some countries meant the death penalty or life imprisonment, torture and humiliation in North Korea punishes the entire family with three generations to come, Jilke you and kids and Ohvadk Bjrimitk punished.

The idea that money has to buy is fanciful to many people, some of them heard about the money and that they saw pictures or view a little richer people pay money to other people, we do not think much of the money available and it played.

Fruit itself a utopian notion for some people, perhaps heard or saw pictures, but they do not know the taste of apples and other fruit colors know, the North Korean people living in camps throughout their lives do not know, however, one type of food intake each day throughout the year, and some of them born and die In these camps was never sees the world outside these camps.

Me now and I write these words, and the dish contains Bertqala bananas and grapes, I feel guilty because I can deal with this food, I know very well that there had not heard about these things only in stories.

Have you ever thought that this simple daily things?

Try to practice a little yourself to remember that there are people around the world can not clean drinking a glass of water every day, or do not know of apples, however, name and format, or do not understand the idea that there is something called the right to travel from one place to another, remember that it may well make you To do something.
