I add my voice to the clamor for the release of Mr. Muntadar al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist sentenced to three years in prison for throwing his shoes at former US President George W. Bush.
Mr. Zaidi is an admirable patriot of his country and an upright citizen of the world. By his action, he showed all of us what courage and love for truth and justice is all about.
That he is in jail and not the object of his abomination - the man who lied to ruin his country and brought grief and misery to his people - tells us of the enormity of the task yet to be done to achieve a more just and better world.
