[Dr. Ursus]

I remember that speech.We were on a Jordan and Israel tour and stood on a hill over looking the valley in Wadi Rum where they filmed the Arabs on the march to Aqaba.

Lawrence (or O'Toole) was correct. Even after 100 years, the Arabs are still Arabs. Don't forget that in the early 20th century, the British upper crust referred to unrefined and uncouth people as being, “Philistine”. Now why on Earth would we call so-called primitive people Philistine??? Look at the Paleostinians for example...
