I mean, what does it matter what Britain was supposed have? My point is that even getting a small part they were always going to want more, and probably would have participated in destabilization attempts until they got it. They and others did just that in several other areas in Asia, Africa and South America.

I'm with you that we would have gotten a less fanaticism in general, however. Fanaticism and fundamentalism depends on strife to succeed, so I agree that he was prescient there. Although, I'm not convinced that the way those countries drew up the Middle East was completely a matter of ignorance, so it's not surprising to me that the government didn't listen to him.

It's nice to know that Lawrence was pro-Arab and willing to actually follow through with it. So many people do not walk the walk. But war is not the only sign of imperialism there is (although he basically never stopped trying to be part of the military, so), and many otherwise progressive folks are fine with mild imperialism, especially when it's an entrenched part of a profession like archeology, or the more insidious cultural version.

Ngl, considering his views and the movie itself, I'm always curious at the reception of Lawrence of Arabia in Britain.
