An Iraqi Shiite Muslim uses a slipper to

An Iraqi Shiite Muslim uses a slipper to hit the face of an effigy of US President George W. Bush and a sign that reads in Arabic, "The security agreement is shameful and humiliating", hung from the abstract statue that now stands in the center of Firdoos Square in central Baghdad as he and others take part in the Friday noon prayers followed by a protest on November 21, 2008. Thousands of mostly Shiite followers of the firebrand anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr gathered in Baghdad to protest a security accord that would allow US troops to remain until 2011. Baghdad's Firdoos Square is where a large statue of executed dictator Saddam Hussein was torn down by US troops a few weeks after the March 2003 invasion that toppled him.
