    Quite a potent ad. Incredibly clever branding; take a movement and make it your own.

    It would be interesting to know how many people this 'touched'.

    Yeah, that ad really goes against what you have been told to believe, doesn't it? Crazy!

    Right. The world's most powerful military is going to allow a Chinese invasion of Texas. There is medication available to help with that delusion.

    IMAGINE if Indonesia sent its troops to Australia because they says the Gillard Government is evil... so... they come to save us and teach us how to live the Indonesian way .

    IMAGINE Indonesian troops in our streets creating road side blocks, restricting access to where you need to travel and enforcing curfews.

    IMAGINE if a member of you family or friend was shot dead because they was mistakenly suspected as a Gillard supporter.


    .I can't IMAGINE anything like that happening on Australian soil ...but if it did... what would you do?

    You missed the message completely, didn't you.
    I don't think willful ignorance is treatable yet with medication

    Imagine if your homeland was a blood soaked basket case lie Iraq, of Afghanistan, and nobody came to help.

    Good thread!!!!!!!!!!

    Although I sympathize with the Australian comments, I do miss a bit here in downunder:
    The following up of the Iraq War, placing John Howard in front of a court for his wrongful decision of the Invasion of Iraq.
    I know, this war was started by the US (as so often nowadays), but blindly following them makes us no better.
    Best to deal with would be the call from The Hague, to send Bush, Blair and Howard over to them. But will that ever happen?
    And if so, would any PM of Australia sign for Howard to be deported?

    Sorry for being that frank, regards

    Holy Crap that was a good ad, bit long for TV though.

    Secretary of State maybe?

    Iraq was no worse than other Arab countries before the USA invaded it for reasons that turned out to be invalid. It would have been a lot better off if the sanctions did not exist. No, the first part of the video is valid. That is how Iraq people can see the USA army in their country. If anything it does not go far enough.
