MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The distillers of Sweden's Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican.

We have young Americans dying in Iraq because of political lies. Because of corporate greed we're facing one of the worst economic disasters in our lifetime, and you're upset over a map in a vodka advertisement. Your stupidity, your hypocrisy concerning our troop's welfare and your false pride is incomprehensible. You make me gag.

My tour in Vietnam was a waste, and a soldier who goes to this mess in Iraq for you is insane. A dead battery in your cell phone constitutes a damn emergency for you. You make me gag.
