2. Actually a pretty good video - can't imagine why they'd ban it.
It's not a specifical anti-Iraq message and the violence is nowhere near as bad as other gangster rap vids we see. It was just generally anti-war, which MTV certainly has shown a lot of. Some of the images are quite moving, pairing ordinary life (like that guy washing his car) against images of troops dying in war. And the video didn't show any civilian casualties at all. That beach scene where the kid digs in the sand, and then the marines lower a flag draped coffin into the hole, is really powerful, too.
