Table of Damascus in Lawrence of Arabia

The tribes of Arabia dreamed of making Damascus their own once more. Once they conquered the city each tribe was given a civic responsibility such as water and electricity.

This scene depicts the many tribes at the table with different interests that would rather see a city of their dreams burn than carry a bucket of water.

this was a 100 years ago. how is tribe loyalty any different than interest groups? creating a functioning democratic society takes more than a day.

As arab I want to live in freedom, we dont want the turks and we dont want english french or italians to rule our countries. Turkey is our entire neighbours and we love and respecting them. And I hope the arab turkish relations can be better and better. English and EU can go to hell. Becuse dont want us arabs to unite as they did

@amrjosef The same thing you said goes aswell for the Kurds. They are now what arabs were 100 years ago, improving relations with Turkey will decrease the living conditions for the Kurds.
