I'm sure the unemployed and those with lower paychecks would enjoy those videos.

Sorry, JP, but that would, at best, flop with the public. At worst, it could backfire as the Deanies shout "Nazi propaganda." And with the commercial you describe, they'd have a point. The reality is we have only given the Iraqis a leg up on freedom, peace and prosperity. A more realistic, and I think more effective (for Bush) ad would be to show the "before" - Saddam's torture videos and such - the "now" - Saddam captured - and then ask the voters to decide what future they want - Dean, who would have deferred to the dictator-loving UN and left Saddam in power, or Bush, who took a chance and removed him.
