Normally the projectiles you have to worry about in Iraq are AK-47 rounds, shrapnel from a bomb, molten slugs from an EFP and Rocket Propelled Grenades.
If they are down to loafers, sandals and lace-ups, well, that in itself is a sign of progress.
As one who has spent quality and quanitity time in Iraq, I understand the shoe insult. But it is just that, an insult.
The Code Pink types do it verbally. Some prefer puppets and burning in effigy.
The declaration of a 'Shoe Intifada' shows that the opposition forces in Iraq have moved from lethal projectiles into tactical irrelevance.
An irrelevance only the media could misunderstand.
