I think it's at Live at Donnigton, or maybe Live After Death, that Bruce says it's about the Falklands War. That was Britain Vs. Argentina when the Argentinions invaded the Falklands, for those of you who may not have heard of it.

@UpTheIrons I think "Como Estais Amigos" from 1998 was the one about the Falklads war - that was after the band started touring South America more due to the decline of heavy metal popularity in the US. "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" was inspired by the early 90's Gulf War.
