A warm Seasons Greetings From Erins Isle.
Copy of a letter sent to GW in the White House in a box accompanying a pair of old shoes-in solidarity with the shoe throwing Journalist in baghdad to... 1600 Pensylvania Ave Washington DC.

Dear Mr Bush.
I hope you, your family and your staff enjoy a wonderful and peaceful Christmas Holiday.
I hope 2009 brings to you a concience to recognise the un-imaginable devistation you visited on the Iraqi nation, of which you or one of your staff have shown the slightest hint of remorse

This letter and gift is to remind you of the absolute horror you, your government and your military have exacted on the innocent people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
There are now 1,474, 200 dead innocent victims of your war against the people of Iraq.
There are 1,000,000 innocent widows left behind - so far.
There are 5,000,000 innocent orphaned children- so far .
You declared that..... 'the war in Iraq was all about peace'.
You dropped millions of tonnes of weapons described as 'smart', 'strategic' or 'surgical'.
You dropped several thousand tonnes of Delpeted Uranium weapons - a banned radoiactive metal described by one of your staff as... 'the most poisonus substance on earth', with a half life of 4.5 billion years, ensuring that Iraq will never recover.

Since the Iran Iraq war, you , your Father and other US Presidents have killed burned, destroyed, mutilated, shot, beaten, tortured, bullied, poisoned, bombed, white phosphored, clusterbombed, napalmed and probably worst of all sanctioned in total about 5,000,000 innocent Iraqi citisens.
You sent 4,000 of your own military kids to their early deaths in their naieve belief in you sick ideology. Those who survive you deny any treatment as they are psychologically destroyed.
67% of your returnee soldiers have fathered children with birth defects through testicular cancer from your use of Depleted-Uranium

You did this in the name of Peace, Democracy and the protection of the American People, yet Iraq has never lifted so much as a finger to your beloved USA. You initially blamed Iraq for September 11, though your investigation into this, asks more questions about your administration than any group outside the USA.
You invoke the name of God as justification for your actions to assist you in this genocide, and you enrole your friends Tony Blair and Bertie Aherne.
Tony Blair used an old schoolboys project to justify this massacre of innocence.
Bertie Aherne justified his support of genocide by saying that... 'it would be a hostile act to remove facilities at Shannon Airport'......

These shoes are just a token of the only 'suffering' you had to endure or the only 'missile' you had to duck for cover from.

Slan agus Beannacht Mr. Bush.
Paul O Toole.
