Did you see the film of the American soldier taking down the poster of Saddam? After a little while an Iraqi man joined him. He took off his shoe and started beating the poster of Saddam with his shoe.

I've heard that in much of the the Arab third world (think Afghanistan), they squat to "do their business", then "wipe" with the their heel.
