This song touches, as most of you already said, the cuban missile crisis during the cold war. I would like to add to the part of appeacement, is that before WWII, 30's, lead hitler into power in germany, that plus other stuff. I believe that the song's overall meaning is that what presidents did/do with their politics, is just gamble the world's fate and life. Example: bush-iraq-iran- etc.
