Hardly. The Irish were blowing up pubs long before the old Ayatollah was in power. Not even the beginning of middle Eastern terrorism - militant Zionists blew up the British in what was then called Palestine in 1946, killing 91 people. |

And before that a rather eccentric Oxford educated British Army Intelligence officer was assisting Arab Bedouin tribes in blowing up Turkish trains along the Hejaz railway between Aqaba and Damascus |

No, I believe he went by the name, Ned; although following the war he may have clowned around as either Larry of Lambeth or Harry of Hounslow. |

Hardly: The British were raping, plundering and leveling Ireland under Cromwell 360 years ago, and practicing genocide against the Irish 160 years ago. |

That's nothing compared to Ferdinand and Isabella's reign of terror against the Moors and Jews of the Iberian peninsula in the late 15th Century. |

That wasn't really terrorism - we were just keeping our eye in, in case the Spanish ever managed to summon up another Armada that wasn't totally overcome by God being on their side so much He blew a little too hard. |

Yes it is, however the reader is advised to approach it as literature rather than history. If you want a good biography about Lawrence: John E. Mack's A Prince of Our Disorder: The Life of T. E. Lawrence , Boston, Little, Brown, 1976 and Jeremy Wilson's, Lawrence of Arabia: The Authorised Biography of T.E. Lawrence, 1989 are recommended. |

Well, with Freddie Young's cinematography, and Maurice Jarre's music, you could hardly call that terrorism. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |
