MEMRI have compiled a selection of clips from Iraqi election commercials and public service announcements in advance of the January 30 election. Some are inspirational.
An old man rounding a corner into an alleyway looks up and sees young, masked militants facing him down. A couple joins the old man. Slowly, more and more people join the old man.
Voiceover:”On January 30, we meet our destiny and our duty. We are not alone, and we are not afraid. Our strength is in our unity; together we will work and together prevail”
Those joining the man now outnumber the militants. He nods and they move forward. The militants run away.
Written on screen: ” Don’t worry about Iraq. We are its people. We will allow no one to deprive us of our rights. For the building of Iraq: Peace, freedom and democracy. The heroes of Iraq.”
