==Videos== The [[Godley & Creme]]-directed video depicted a wrestling match between then-US President [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[Konstantin Chernenko]], then Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in front of group members and an assembly of representatives from the world's nations. The match eventually degenerates into global destruction. Certain violent moments ("Reagan" is seen, for example, biting "Chernenko's" ear) were edited from the version shown on [[MTV]]. A longer version of the video (based on the "Hibakusha" mix) included an introductory, heavily [[Film editing|edited]] monologue by [[Richard Nixon]] taken from an ad from his 1960 US Presidential campaign ("No ... firm diplomacy ... No ... peace for America and the world"), plus similar contributions from other world leaders, including [[Lord Beaverbrook]], [[Yasser Arafat]] and [[John F. Kennedy]]. The complete soundtrack to the extended video was eventually released as "Two Tribes (Video Destructo)" on the German version of the ''[[Twelve Inches]]'' compilation. A third version of the video, included on the band's ''From An Wasteland to an Artificial Paradise'' VHS, retains the introduction, but omits most of the inserted clips in the main wrestling sequence.
