Hasn't anyone here seen the music video for this song? Its about pinks WWII veteran schoolteacher who is depressed. When he goes to the fletcher memorial home, Napoleon, Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill. some guy I think is Lord Trenchard (Founder of the RAF) and even Hitler are there. The Latin American meat-packing glitterati probably refers to the Falkland Wars, (Britains war with Argentina over the Falkand Islands) which Roger Waters was clearly against. Roger Waters does indeed imply that we could have these "tyrants" gassed to death to keep them from causing more chaos and death.
