Lebanese voter beats Bush* effigy with her shoe


A Shiite Muslim voter uses her shoe to hit an effigy showing US President George Bush and a placard in Arabic saying 'Agents of America,' erected by Hezbollah supporters outside a balloting station in Baalbek, in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, Sunday, June 12, 2005. The country's political direction was in the hands of the voters of central and eastern Lebanon, who were deciding Sunday nearly half the legislative seats in the third stage of Lebanon's staggered parliamentary elections.

3. Giving someone the sole of a shoe is a deep insult in Arab culture
Next they'll be flushing the effigy down the toilet.
