To me it is a shame that Roger Waters and Pink Floyd became so politicized in the mid-1980s. I for one did get sucked into the whole mess as an avid fan, but for what?
In the end, I am grateful that both Waters and Gilmour (and Wright and Mason) continued to make music, no matter how it was branded. Most of the work of these musicians has been important to me, so when both bands were touring with Pink Floyd music in their sets I was all for it.
For those who want another perspective on the Floyd wars, may I recommend "Roger Waters Superstar," a complete parody of Jesus Christ Superstar with the Floyds overlain on the storyline. You can find the lyrics here:

I think part of what is going on with the current Roger comments is that there are those fans who want to see Waters and Gilmour reunite again, so this is wishful thinking outside of what Roger thinks or wants. I think he is perfectly happy doing his own thing, some of which is material released under the name Pink Floyd. Again, I am all for it!
