I remember watching CNN with a few Iraqi Jewish friends in Morasha, the day that Saddam`s staute was pulled down.
The cameras focussed on many an Iraqi gent smacking a poster of Saddam with their shoes.
I was perplexed.
Until my friends explained to me that this was an Iraqi jesture of dismissal and hate.
I found it delightfully primitive, expecially since I was watching it on television, not actually immersed in this demonstration of honor and humiliation.
Interesting to see that a Lefty progressive in NZ, has taken to adopting such a barbarian jesture.
What is a progressive when he is regressive? I guess that would make the progressive movement transgressive, could work in San Francisco, seemed to have failed in NZ. |
