They should have used this video, and used the censored version (a.k.a. The George Bush Grenade thing version) where people were whiny and got upset. Both versions of the video are fantastic, the 'flag' version is shockingly awful.
I actually think withdrawing the video did her career more harm tha good, it would have been THE vidoe of the year if not her entire career. Madonna was unusually repentant here, regardless of what was going on in the world the video was portraying the horrors of war, the ignorance of humanity obsessed with celebrity whilst millions were being slaughtered, she should never have pulled the plug on this project, the only time the press actually won! Why no DVD single like Justify My Love even??
annoying that she got rid of this fab video, she couldve even put it on the recent dvd celebration, madonna never puts remix videos, xtras etc... on her dvd releases, just the "normal" videos.
i love you, queen!!!!

@andrewdancing In the US yeah. But it proved that there was competition to sell in the US, not competition to be creative.
