A demonstrator slaps an effigy of U.S. President George W. Bush with a sandal during a rally at Firdos square in Baghdad November 21, 2008. Followers of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr marched on Friday against a pact letting U.S. forces stay in Iraq until 2011, toppling an effigy of Bush where U.S. troops once tore down a statue of Saddam Hussein. The words on the effigy read, "The pact of subservience and shame". REUTERS/Thaier al-Sudani (IRAQ)
