Gateway Pundit posts this clip of Iraq's U.S. ambassador explaining to Code Pink why they're foolish for defending shoe-thrower Muntader al-Zaidi. Ambassador Samir Sumaida'ie tells the women holding "Free Al-Zaidi" signs:

"Mr. Muntader al-Zaidi is very very lucky that it was Mr. Bush and Mr. Maliki and not Mr. Saddam Hussein. Because, had it been Mr. Saddam Hussein you would be carrying a different plaque by now."

Translation: The shoe-thrower would be waist deep in a wood chipper right now if he did that in front of Saddam. You'd be asking for his remains, not his freedom.

That is, of course, if Code Pink types actually were concerned about crimes committed by our enemies.
