T.E. Lawrence

It's definitely the greatest art about Thomas Edward Lawrence.

Lawrence of Arabia, whom best known as T. E. Lawrence, was an archaeologist which had become the future hero of the Arab Revolt. Despite his life had suffered a lot of pains, but he never mentioned about it. He still lived with the Arabs, fought and stood with them until the victory day that destroy the Ottoman Empire. Lawrence is the symbol of love, courage, poverty life, and that was one of Lawrence's success during the war in Arabia.

His journey, from Cairo, advised by Archibald Murray to meet Feisal, alliance with Auda abu Tayi, beat the Turks in Aqaba, then walked into Damascus, had shown the great moves of Lawrence. Although Lawrence's wasn't perfect, but he knew what to do.

He could have lived much longer if the motorcycle crash hadn't been happened. In 1935, he died because of a motorcycle crash. His funeral had been covered by the flag of Britain, and his coffin was hung by the pallbearers, one of them was S. F. Newcombe, Lawrence's friend.

In entire of his life, he was the true fair-player in all the war. He helped the British to beat the Turks, but that didn't mean he gave Arabia to the British and the French. Unfortunately for him, France had invaded Syria, forced Feisal to go to Baghdad, destroyed Lawrence's independent dream. But thanked for France, the meaning of "Islamic terrorism" had appeared. The story of September 11th might not have happened if we listen to Lawrence "Don't mess with the Arabs".

Today, Lawrence can be considered as a secret prophet: when Barack Obama wants to attack Syria, Lawrence warned "the war in Syria shall influenced to Europe, and no one can stop, even the United States, until Syrians can stop itself". He also knew the Crimea annexation will be the rise of a new Empire, and the Muslims will fail to stop it. And by somehow, his words are opposed to Nostradamus and Vanga. But who know is that true? Maybe we have to wait the future.

Lawrence of Arabia forever.
