Shoe thrown at Ahmadinejad

A shoe-thrower I can respect. Do you think the Mullahcracy will build a statue in honor of this guy or call him a hero? From Guardian

When the Iraqi journalist, Muntazar al-Zaidi, hurled his shoes at the then-US president, George Bush, in December, Iranian officials declared him a hero and hailed his gesture as a mark of Islamic courage.

They were presumably less impressed this week when Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was similarly targeted during a visit to the north-western city of Urumiye.
