I don't think it will ever happen. Our oppositions are 50% of the population and not more.

Also add to the fact that we are the only non-Arab country without a Dictator ruling or King.

That's what i thought

Back to iraq,it will be interesting to see what happens

The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George Bush was arrested in Baghdad yesterday.

Muntadar Al-Zaidi arrived to Baghdad from Beirut on Monday to take part in today's "day of rage" demonstration against the Iraqi government, and had been due to hold a press conference in Abu Haifa mosque in Adhamiyia, north Baghdad, a stronghold for Iraqi Sunni resistance.

According to the Al-Zaidi charity organisation spokesman Hussein Al-Rubaiee, Al-Zaidi was welcomed as a hero with people gathering around him, hugging and kissing him and saluting him for what they saw as his brave act against Bush in 2008. People were chanting "Muntadher took revenge to our martyr sons of Bush" and "May God keep you safe."

Al-Zaidi was supposed to hold his conference in one of the coffee shops in Adhamiyia but was prevented from doing so by security forces.He was later arrested by a large group of police and taken away.

Al-Zaidi, 31, was a correspondent for Iraqi local satellite Al-Baghdadiyia before throwing his shoes at the then-US president and shouting: "This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog" while Bush was holding a press conference with Iraqi prime minister Nouri Al-Malki in Baghdad in December 2008. He was jailed for nine months and tortured by Iraqi forces.

He took refuge in Lebanon where he now works as news editor for Al-Jadid satellite TV in Beirut.
