"This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq," screamed al-Zeidi, who was working for a Cairo-based television station.


he's better than the terrorists who use his reasons as excuses to kill innocents, i say he deserves to be remembered as someone who stood up against those he deemed wrong without commiting a worse act against him.

it doesn't matter that he missed, his message is now known by the rest of the world. if his throws landed he might have been killed for assaulting a foreign political leader with a 'dangerous' weapon and the media would have focused on the attack instead of the meaning behind it.
