Now, given that the thread is about shoes, I feel Clinton deserves a size 12 right across the grill too.
Absolutely correct Onifre, but I think Clinton should get a Bruno Magli in the nose more for this reason:
After 9/11, the profoundly misinformed and apathetic American public meekly asked "why did the terrorists do such an act". The Bush II administration replied vapidly "because the terrorists hate our freedoms". 90% of Americans believed this childish explanation from the immoral simpleton in office.
However, Bin Laden himself said the three ACTUAL reasons for 9/11 was:
1. US military bases in Saudi Arabia that despoiled the holy land.
2. US support of Israel human rights violations against Palestinians that cause repression, torture and death.
3. The US supported sanctions against Iraq that murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children in the 1990s.
Number 1 is a debatable grievance from Bin Laden. But, number 2 and 3 are legitimate grievances. Clinton enthusiastically supported these horrible crimes. And when America causes horror in the world, sometimes there is blowback. Forget about PREVENTING 9/11, I assert Clinton indirectly CAUSED 9/11. Save some shoes for Reagan and Bush I for supporting the extreme Mujahideen that spawned Bin Laden to begin with. And don't forget Bush II actions. His and probably Obama's administration's (recycled Clintonians) continued war crimes will hopefully not revisit another blowback tragedy onto American soil someday.

I would like to take a collection up for this brave man. When the entire American corporate-media acted as stenographer/filthy-whore for the white house, he alone stood up and showed the emperor was naked.
Alas, he is a hero not only in the Arab and Muslim worlds.
