The dirt here is so fine that it sticks to anything. It's like brown flour. And i'm afraid to find out how much of it i've inhaled.

I'm not 'stupid' and I know how to use a dictionary... to answer the one persons comment. I'm just annoyed with all the dust that has now relocated to my lungs.

The type of ground does not define a region as a desert, but the amount of precipatation. If there is little rainfall in an area, it is a desert; that is why Antarctica can be considered a desert, as it is too cold there to rain or even snow.
The dust in the Middle East is a pain when you have to breathe it in. They called it the Kuwaiti crud when I was there.

Desert (dez'ert) n: an arid, sandy region capable of supporting only a few, usually specialized forms of life.
The dust you see is fine sand, and Iraq is deffinately arid.

Lack of rainfall annually makes it a desert.
