New agency Brew does Iraq holiday spot If you’re a little tired of the usual agency holiday fare (videos showing Santa getting humiliated, etc.), check out this Iraq-themed spot, which is the first work produced by Brew, the new agency of former Fallon ecd Bruce Bildsten. The shop says it just wants people to reflect a little bit this holiday season. Of course, it also wants to generate headlines, which is surely part of the reason for the “controversial” theme. But it’s nicely shot (filmed in a gravel pit in Minneapolis this month) and politically ambiguous enough that both sides of the fence might get something out of it. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Maybe, someday, if US seizes the real truth about 'everything', at that time peace wiil come.
It smells soooo god damn demagogy! But it fits all US fool citizens. Keep doing it.
Peace on earth:)) C'mon!

Right, peace on earth, let's all become quakers and give up our guns and die! You know, I can accept that Brew is owned by hippies, but to dress an actor as a US Soldier is beyond the pale. Most soldiers are PROUD to serve their country, they know what they're fighting for, freedom and democracy for Iraq. That's a lot more important than making snow angels in the sand.

And if this site had any objectivity, they would show the ad from the kurds THANKING America for liberating them, instead of yet another crappy anti-war "holiday" spot.

What is the meaning of freedom and democracy for US minds? Who the hell are they who let these poor people freedom? They want only thing, oil, everyone knows that shit. US's economy is down. And they have to invade the countries which are full of natural treasures, such as oil, maybe bor, etc.
Maybe someday they will attack to Turkey which full of bor mine.
Or they attack us (France) to let our people free:)

Freedom and democracy means free speech, not getting tortured, the right to keep and bear arms, freedom of religion, things which Saddam was dead set against.

Also, America is mostly a service economy, like Japan, and invading Iraq actually lowered oil production since now we have to cope with sunnis sabotaging oil plants.
