An effigy is an object intended to represent another person. The picture, as described in the article, is of an arab with a gun, holding up an effigy of president Bush. Not his actual severed head.
Well, I was never good at reading deeper into things. Like in English class when they took a classic book and asked you what the author was REALLY saying. Well, I don't know. Black Beauty is a story about a horse and a severed head is a severed head to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if this kid was so politically astute then he should have realized the possible implications of his drawings. In highschool, we would draw symbols on our foreheads, peace and anarchy signs and whatnot. But not one of us ever drew a swastika, realizing the possible backlash it would receive. There is a certain amount that people can be pushed and when you cross the line you need to accept the consequences.
