Sometimes when I'm discouraged I get the creepy sort of feeling that nothing I believe in is real; that "goodness" is an illusion, that evil goes unanswered in the world, that there's no real distinction between the two in the first place and that everything is, after all, relative.
Then, just for laughs, Karma shows its face.
I'm not supporting or encouraging or abetting shoe-throwers in any way. Hey, he could have given the president a black eye! Um, another black eye.
No, shoe throwing is violent and I don't support violence. But on this "valedictory" trip to Iraq and Afghanistan, that George W. Bush should be reminded that a lot of people hate him, rather than love him, for what he has done in the last eight years is bitterly ironic, and redolent of cosmic justice.
Sometimes I think that the only justice the Bush administration will be subjected to is cosmic justice. Perhaps that's enough.

I'm only a little embarrassed to admit that I sure felt better after I saw those shoes fly at Bush's head. And I'm a pacifist.
