And it was about the bombing of Libya by Reagan, with Maggie Thatcher as complicit helper.

"Operation El Dorado Canyon, comprised the joint United States Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps... air-strikes against Libya on April 15, 1986. The attack was carried out in response to the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing. If the song were about this bombing, than why are they above the Gulf of Arabia????????????? Maybe I need a geography lesson, but I don't think so.

LOL...Maybe Libya shouldn't have killed innocent civilians and NOT expect reprisal. Man, you need to do some research on Libya's president's leadership before you spout off...

The Gulf of Arabia is indeed another name for the Pursian Gulf (Iraq area), so the song is NOT about the bombing of Libya!!!! You, Sir, were complicit on giving a bad interpretation for apparant personal propaganda gain :D
