A little tidbit for those who don't know: It is an insult to merely show the bottom of your shoe in Arab culture. This guy is doing the equivilent of spitting on Saddam's face.

Check out the guy's grin too.
He's got his sandal up there with a huge grin on his face.
Sure hope we got Saddam and his sons.
That guy is a marked man now, if Saddam's thugs find him.

I saw the video of this - and I was struck by the way the guy kept looking over his shoulder the whole time he was hitting the picture. To me, he wasn't quite sure it was safe to do that to Saddam. The look of fear was so obvious.
