Please shoes wisely

Mubarak says he'll give more authority to his vice president but reiterates that he'll stay in office until September. The protesters want him out now and have taken to waving shoes in the air; in Islam, this is seen as a sign of contempt and many non-Islamic people first saw it when Bush was visiting Iraq a few years ago and somebody threw shoes at him. As long as the elections do go ahead and are clean, fair, and above board, I can take it either way.
