[Vision2020] Shoes thrown at President Bush

[Donovan Arnold]

I meant, Sunil, that the guy who attacked the US President was not a US Citizen. I guess you can play semantics if you want, but I think my meaning was clear. 

The Secret Service is not doing its job. There are more ways to kill someone than with a gun or bomb. They obviously are not aware of that fact.

I also believe this action seriously hurts the image of Middle Easterners and reinforces their stereotype of being a hostile and unfriendly people. 

Best Regards,

Donovan
