the title is a reference to the stupidity of it all. Desert being a desolate wasteland, of no use to anyone. Keep your filthy hands off being a nationalist rage that someone dare try to take my desert. Useless to me, but mine all the same damn ya! Waters' dad died in WWII, this event formed his feeling towards war in general and the likes of the Falklands war when young lives were again lost for what was no more than a pissing contest over a remote island community really got him going. And trust me, I was in the uk at the time and NOONE had heard of the Falklands until the Argentines landed!
