Wow, I hope the guy that threw those shoes at Bush doesn't end up in Abu Ghraib or Gitmo. Pull that kind of thing here in the land of the Free and the Brave and you get your ass investigated and possibly even arrested for threatening the life of the guy in the White House. Hell, in this country just talking about throwing a shoe at the occupier of the Oval Office might bring the Secret Service's shoe down on your throat.
Hey, you didn't really think we have 100% free speech didja?
After all, Bush himself agrees that there should be limits to freedom (and he said that before 911!).

CORRECTION: I just watched the video--turns out the Iraqi dude threw both of his shoes at Bush. So, I corrected the text above to reflect multiple shoes thrown. :)
UPDATE: Here's video of the actual event as it happened:
