The whole world now thinks of Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi correspondent for the Cairo-based al-Baghdadiya TV, who threw both of his shoes at President Bush as a hero, and online games have begun to spring up, giving players a chance to succeed where the Iraqi failed.

Demonstrations rallied for his release in Baghdad, the southern Shiite city of Basra, as well as the holy city of Najaf. According to Saudi television, a Saudi businessman, despite the close relationship with the United States, has offered $10 million for just one of the shoes.
