15. Do not try to do too much with your own hands. Better the Arabs do it tolerably than that you do it perfectly. It is their war, and you are to help them, not to win it for them. Actually, also, under the very odd conditions of Arabia, your practical work will not be as good as, perhaps, you think it is.It is a lesson that our army seems to be slowly learning, at least in Iraq.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Learning an Old Lesson
From the 27 Articles of T.E. Lawrence:
3 comments:
House Rules #1, #2 and #6 apply to all comments. Rule #3 also applies to political comments.
In short, don't be a jackass. THIS MEANS YOU!
If you never see your comments posted, see Rule #7.
All comments must be on point and address either the points raised in the blog post or points raised by commenters in response.
Any comments that drift off onto other topics are subject to deletion.
(Please don't feed the trolls.)
中國詞不評論，冒抹除的風險。僅英語。
COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Keyword: slowly.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see the Iraqis starting to fend for themselves.
Now if only the Afghanis and Pakistannies can do the same.
Obama has managed to alienate his base while failing to please his distractors with his escalation of the Afghan war.
The Nobel Peace Prize people should ask him to return the award and give it to someone who wages peace.
I hadn't read the 27 articles before... very interesting. I'm betting no one in the previous administration had either.
ReplyDeleteProbably a safe bet that nobody in Chimpy's shop had read "the Seven Pillars of Wisdom", for that matter.
