I don't know where to begin about how wrong your post is. If you noticed the release date on the Final Cut, you'd see that it was 1983, so it was probably recorded during 1982. Saddam Huessein wasn't shit then. Yasir Arafat wasn't shit then. He used Regan and Thatcher because they were the political figures of the time. So don't go on a tear about him not writing about the frickin' nuclear missile crisis in Iraq back then.
