Saddam Hussein's Yacht for Sale at $30 Million {Luxist}

Dec 23rd 2008 12:29AM Auction is one way of disposing and selling properties for the benefit of something or for beneficial use. Did you see how well President Bush was received during his last surprise visit to Iraq? The mad shoe-thrower who was none too pleased with the lame president’s treatment of his country made an unexpected protest by throwing his shoes at W. The man has been identified as Muntadhar al-Zeidi, an Iraqi journalist. In Muslim culture, showing the sole of your shoe is a symbol of extreme disrespect, but throwing your shoes goes deeper than an insult. Beleaguered Iraqi citizens took off their shoes and threw them at the toppling statue of Saddam Hussein during liberation – that will tell you more about what an insult it is. Bush laughed this off and referred to it as a "sign of a free society," much like payday loans are. If convicted, he is looking at a minimum of two years in prison for insulting a visiting head of state. Protesters burned American flags and threw shoes at a tank in Najaf, apparently because they feel al-Zeidi should be praised for his “courageous” action. Al-Zeidi and his infamous footwear are still in custody. I doubt there’s any way of getting his shoes back.
