#1 Pay a guy to follow him around and look mean.

No violence, no threats. Just there. Always.

#3 I have a feeling this guy is a dead man. He just doesn't know it yet. There are a lot of Iraqis who have become very pro-American, and saw the act of shoe throwing as a humiliating example of mistreating an honored guest.

They won't make an issue of it, but if the chance comes to stick a knife between his ribs discreetly, they will take it.

#4 Morons. Nobody seems to appreciate that if he had tried a stunt like this when Saddam was in power he'd be dead.
