Subject: Understanding The Arabs

Dave,

I'm currently reading T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia's) book, The Seven
Pillars of Wisdom.  Though written in 1921, Lawernce's comments on the mind
and make up of the Arab community has helped me
to understand why it is so hard to resolve the today's middle east issues..

The complete book can be found in a book store or on the web at
http://www.gutenberg.net.au/0100111.txt .

The on-line site explains that people in the USA should not access the
document since the US copyright is still in effect while the copyright  for
Australia where the document is stored has expired.

Barry
